Minnesota, exactly 45°n here. It was underwhelming and not worth staying up to 2 am for. Perhaps if I had a better view of the northern horizon and wasn’t so close to town it would have been better, but it was underwhelming compared to November 11th or several other events over the last two years

By comparison, here’s November 11th.

I was watching this from noaa and it barely cracked the lower 48. Space weather forecasting is extremely new science.

Same here. Still we had some not that long ago, so anything can happen.

Western Ny here. I don't even bother with astronomical events between November and April because it's cloudy over 90% of the time. The 2024 solar eclipse was a bust and so is this.
Overcast skies last night and overcast skies again tonight. At least I got to see a cool aurora on a webcam yesterday. That's as good as it's going to get during the colder half of the year out here.

Saw it last night in straya, you could physically see the shafts of light with the naked eye for a little while, it was definitely more powerful than the last few events.

The shafts I photographed in >>2858275 were naked eye viewable, my camera is an iPhone 12, lmao. Best of all were the bright green flashes right at the tree line, though I didn’t get good photos of those at all, but considering it was -24c/-10°f, it was a disappointing viewing compared to others over the last two years. Last May they damn near caused religious ecstasy, and were a horizon to horizon light show for like 6 hours.

I've read that the solar storms were more active in the southern hemisphere this time around, could be why. I got to use a friends iphone 15 as well as my S25+ last night and I think the iphone mogs in terms of astrophotography, iphone normal photo mode with 30 second exposure (top) vs S25+ with 6 minute expert RAW astro mode (bottom). Next time I'm going to get another tripod and take photos of the exact same skies at the same times to really compare.

according to social media there were some sightings around 4 AM on the south shore.

Well? Did anyone view it?

>>2858783
The forecast was a bust. It wasn’t visible much further south than the Canadian border.

>>2858187

Ill try to get pics if anything happens.
