Due north to the land of permafrost and muskeg and the northern lights - that is where I'm headed.

I like alternative music, sci-fi/fantasy, puddle jumping in the pouring rain, the smell of decaying aspen leaves, stormy windy days, spruce bogs, doing cartwheels in the dark, dragonfly watching, fitzchivalry farseer, macintosh apples, climbing, hiking, swimming, guitar, canoe tripping, reciting the periodic tables, watercolour painting, identifying plants, ecology, wildlife, singing, maps, photography, poetry, reading, art, and the colour green
They came like raindrops against the towers of time, but in time the rain always prevails. The Fool (aka Robin Hobb)

I am on the watch for it myself. and the persieds will start showing too, but they won't peek for a day or two.
I have never photographed the aurora -- any suggestions? I won't likely be able to escape the light pollution here much, but otherwise, I was trying to think of what I can do.
Of course just clouds here too! Actually, I doubt it is dark enough yet to see the lights. Perhaps in another month or so!
My only advice... Hold the camera still. I haven't taken a good one yet myself - but blurryness was my biggest problem.
well, I went from clear skys an hour ago to a heavy cloud bank and a severe thunderstorm watch... I will get a show... just not northern lights. It looks like it might pass quickly and leave clear skys again, so we will have to see.
Also, the persieds peak on the 12th of august, but the skys don't look to be any good then either.
it cleared up a bit here while I was walking Kaylee, but only enough to see a few stars peaking through. I'm sure I'll see them sometime in the coming months though. Its funny you asked me for advice, since if I was going to ask anyone for advice on this sort of thing it'll be you.
Yeah.. I had been hoping to find somewhere to lie back and sky watch tonight.. but no such luck. Seen a few good meteors in the last few days. Makes me miss working at Doe.. I used to sleep under the stars half the time in August.
We were out around midnight last night (Saturday) and yes the aurora was shining overhead!
