Hi Ken
and List,
> Hope you
can all get a clear sky tonight for the Aurora in progress tonight.

I
have a fantastic view here in Ireland.
Glad to hear the storm is still
going strong -- others observed it early
this
morning as far south
as Michigan and Wisconsin:
An X-1 (approximately)
class solar flare occurred earlier today:
so
auroral activity may continue to be high for the next couple days.
It
is
currently at level 10 (the only higher levels are 10+ and
10++):
Giant
sunspots 486 and 488 (which wreaked so much havoc a
few weeks ago)
have
rotated back onto the solar disk and could generate additional
large
flares
and coronal mass ejections.
