I can't remember who was commenting with some knowledge about the solar maximum and the fizzer 2013 was, so I'm sharing this here for whomever is interested. Things are looking better this year. I have missed three humdinger aurorae this year - 2 due to full cloud cover, 1 due to it starting at 4.30 am (about an hour before sunrise) - it went OFF in the UK that night, with sightings as far down as the Sussex coast!
The X flare on 1 January resulted in a teeny tiny aurora in Tasmania, where I was at the time. I got photos though.

Nah.... I'm shy. If I ever get a photo I'm really proud of, I'll post it here.General-Z wrote:Can you post some of those pictures you took? They were absolutely amazing! !

Yeah, the ones in the uk looked amazing - very rare I miss the uk, but that was one if them.
I wonder if the solar flares account for the higher than usual amount of people going mental around here....

I had to study hard to get there. Living here does help, though.

The incredible one (seen down on the Sussex coast) I missed because it happened during my daylight.
