Northern lights. 10/10/24

[Charlie Harley, #14153]

Never seen them before but they’re showing up on the Olympic Peninsula. The iPhone catches them better than the eye but they’re still really cool even with unaided vision.

Brilliant display here in SW Colorado! Amazing!!!!

[Pat Riot]

My photo from last night off my front porch. I couldn’t see any color with my glasses eyes. It only showed on my iPhone, which usually takes pizz poor night shots. 
I am not convinced this is the Aurora.  It could be ambient light the camera picked up. 
In my opinion, if one needs a camera to see it the Aurora is not technically “visible”. < my opinion.

From southern Oklahoma.  About a mile north of that river what separates Texans from good folks!

[Lawdog Dago Dom]

SW Missouri had some.

Tried to see it last night.

Got some nice skyglow but not convinced it was the Aurora.

Will try for the comet come sundown.

We not only get to see them, but when we're snowmobiling in the country side on cold winter nights, you can hear them crackle.

Weird when you first experience it.

The blue is sky glow from the moon. The purple is the Aurora Borealis.

 

The constellation Cassiopeia is in the center of the picture

Is that the recent lights? I've heard about the ones from a few months ago, haven't heard about anyone seeing the yesterday.

Used to see them a lot in the norther Utah, southern Idaho area.

 

Haven't been back up there at the right time since 1970.

 

 

Where do we look for the comet?

We got in the car at 11 PM to get out of town and away from the city lights. And I got lost on some back country roads.  More exciting than auroras, which we never saw!

[Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life]

Not really sure. Sharon has an app on her phone that locates celestial events that we use. I will ask when she gets home and let you know. 
Douglas Pass is about 55-60 miles north and west of Grand Junction. Headed towards Rangely/Dinosaur area.

Yes the pictures I saw were from this event and not the May event.

Western sky right at sundown.

 

Each day it will a little higher in the evening sky and will be easier to see.

[watab kid]

the best view i ever had of it was sitting on a rock point of a fly in lake in canada , it was alive and gorgeous ,

Just checked with Sharon. From our perspective the comet will be almost due west from Grand Junction. It will be visible to us about an hour after sunset with best viewing yesterday and progressively fading out in the next couple weeks. 

Hope that helps

Just vacationing out here. Beautiful part of the country. Heading home to East-By-God-Tennessee tomorrow, but we’ll be back.
