Re: Eclipse 2024, . . . this time it's personal
Up here in NW WI we get to see Northern Lights quite often. Still a thrill every time. Earlier this winter we went down to the south shore of Lake Superior, which is about 5 miles from my house, and watched them over the big lake.

flying through eclipse
I just realized that my wife and I will be flying during the eclipse. We will be in the air a little early so I doubt we will experience much. We leave Charlotte, NC at 1pm and land in Minneapolis at 2:45. We will be going right over the path. Hopefully our flight is delayed an hour.

Re: Eclipse 2024, . . . this time it's personal
Well if you ever want to make a run north when they are forecast you have a place to stay. Usually I just need 15 mins notice. I think I am a little desensitized to them. Last year we went to watch them with a person who has never seen them before. My wife and I though meh, the other person was enthralled. There is a large field just down from the house that has a good view north toward the big lake. Unfortunately, the lights of Duluth, MN can be seen too. We get some good views there too.

Re: Northern lights this weekend?
We have a system coming in, but it may clear by midnight. This may be worth driving down to the shore of Lake Superior to see. The closest shore looks north and is only a 5 mile drive away. The field near the house gets a lot of light bleed from Duluth, MN/Superior, WI. We are only 15 miles from "the city" so need to go a little deeper into the country. Edited by Theodoric, : spell

Re: I hereby renounce all loyalty and pledges to the god Ra!
They were the best I have ever seen here in NW WI Saturday night.

Re: I hereby renounce all loyalty and pledges to the god Ra!
Tried to see if they were out last night, it was cloudless night, but we were under a smoke advisory. The air was hazy and smoky from forest fires in British Columbia. I could barely see stars.

Re: Ra has forgiven me . . .
Here in NW WI the lights have been brilliant all week. On Monday night we could clearly see them through the windshield while driving down the hiway, so we pulled over in a place with little ambient light to look. Last night they were amazing again. Lots of reds and pinks. Monday
Thursday

Re: Ra has forgiven me . . .
Samsung S23+ one pic is 5.42 MB 4000x3000. Taken at 12MP. So, I should be able to go quite large

Re: Ra has forgiven me . . .
Though the camera made things more vivid. We could easily see with our bare eyes.
