    Default Massive Solar Storm

    It looks like auroras are expected. This is going to be the biggest one since 2007.

    Edit: This link goes into more detail on it. If it's dark enough, maybe I can attempt some photos.

    Had a nice clear night here but the wind was terrible so just had a look out the window
    Living in a city means too much light pollution anyway. And I hear that the solar storm wasn't quite as strong as NASA was predicting.
    Be interested to see shots if anyone got any....

    I didn't see anything here. Had the sliding glass door in my bedroom open for most of the night waiting to see if anything happened, but I gave up around 4am.

    I was hoping for one like in January. Huge bright flash in the sky here when it hit, it was awesome.

    I'd be interested in seeing some shots if anyone got any too

    Apparently there is another solar storm on its way, keep a look out Tuesday night - or that would be Monday night for those of you in the US.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'd love to get some pictures, and I'm usually up most of the night thanks to insomnia anyway lol. I'll have to keep a look out.
