Wonder if the skies will cooperate -- posted two hours ago:



SWPC goes no higher than G1 through tomorrow.

Late to the thread but I was able to get the lights on November 12th, 2025 (after sleeping through the better show the previous night because the main CME wasn't expected to hit until the 12th). Went to the same spot I'd scoped out for the aurora event in October of '24.











Unfortunately, my DSLR's battery turned up dead so I wasn't able to do the tripoded timelapse I'd planned (those pictures are from my phone), and as I'd learned from the previous experience, the lights barely show up in full-motion 4K video taken with my camcorder, even with the gain cranked up to max.

There's a potential chance I might get to see the northern lights tonight albeit faint. A decent lack of cloud cover throughout the night
