Small Favour

For anyone on the east coast, around the 40 degree latitude (Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey).

I like space, and space-like things.

There is an aurora tonight, and your area is to have the best viewing conditions.




If you got nothing to do- go out and take some pictures?


It's a heckuva shorter drive for yous folks than it is for me.



BENEFITS FOR YOU:

Can't you just appreciate the wonders of the cosmos without material incentive?

For those in NJ- think of it as redemption for Jersey Shore.

I live in Pittsburgh so I might be able to get a few shots.

I enjoy space stuff and can appreciate the wonders of the cosmos AND I live in Ohio.
I'll try and take some pics... if I'm not too drunk to remember.

West Virginia and Maryland might get some good sights too, actually. The cloud cover is why I can't just go out and take a look myself.

Jamaica Ny. I'll see if I can get a few shots.

I'm only in the "fair" area, but I'll try and get a picture as well.

Damn. I would love to see this. Not visible.

Texas never gets anything fun.

Neither does Cali.

Loner would like have a better chance than I do, but I'll see if I can catch it.

must resist anger building up

>Light pollution from nearby gas stations and coney island.
>Cloud cover for miles.

Yeah, I can't see shit.

I don't think I'll see anything in North Carolina, sorry.
Close though.

Storms not active anyway. Noting in queens as of yet.

Activity is supposed to intensify as we get closer to midnight. The cloud cover is the worrying factor; too far north and you're in a haze- too far south and your beyond visible range. It's like trying to find the sweet spot on a new bat.

I would but we don't get auroras

I would too, but I'm in the wrong country D:

It was far too cloudy for me to get anything, let alone see any stars. Anyone else have any luck?

I would, but I'm near the equator.

It was too cloudy for me as well.
Didn't help that I was working most of the night either.
