Seppo EnarviAt this time of year the nights are still dark enough in Helsinki, but there's no more constant cloud cover, so it's possible to see <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/northernlights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#northernlights</a>.

JeffSo to continue on my previous post talking about auroral mist, this is a prime example of a quality mist like view from my camera. While most of the aurora shots you see are very bright, visible to the naked eye, these type of images are the aftermath of such storms. The energy that was brought into the earths magnetic field is dispersed, and creates a much duller to the earthly observer aurora. But with the magic of a good camera and a proper lens, we are able to capture the hidden beauty of these mist like states. <br> <br> This was shot on my back porch north of Fairbanks Alaska a few months ago after a very intense substorm. <br> Settings were 8” exposure, 2500iso, f1.8 20mm lens.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aurora?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aurora</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nothernlights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nothernlights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/auroraboreale?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auroraboreale</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alaska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alaska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fairbanks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairbanks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arctic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arctic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/beautifulworld?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beautifulworld</a>
JeffView from my driveway tonight. With these auroral bands, you have a maximum level of energy that is stored in the earths magnetic field. When these maximum levels are reached, it creates a breakup, or otherwise known as a corona. Where the magnetic bands swirl and break apart, releasing the concentrated energy into a more broad, mist like auroral haze. <br> But for those few minutes of eye watering wonder, it’s quite a good time.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aurora?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aurora</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/northernlights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#northernlights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spaceweather?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spaceweather</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/atmosphere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atmosphere</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/auroraborealis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auroraborealis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/winter?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winter</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homesweethome?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homesweethome</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyard?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyard</a>

JeffHad my last official aurora tour of the season last night. We got hit by a CME during the day and we weren’t sure if it would hold until night time hit in Alaska. <br> Luckily we were in for a treat, with huge columns and deep red and blue colors covering the sky. <br> <br> It’s been an amazing season, I’ll keep posting up photos here and there but it’s time to relax with friends and family for a while. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/auroraborealis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auroraborealis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/northernlights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#northernlights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aurora?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aurora</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sun</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturewonder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturewonder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/beautifulworld?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beautifulworld</a>
Westport Observatory<p>WAS member Michael Southam is in Alaska and caught a nice <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/aurora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aurora</span></a> dancing above him last night. We saw some photos of dim aurora around CT, too. Is tonight a better chance? Tomorrow when a strong G3 geomagnetic storm watch is in effect? Only way to tell is to go out and look after sunset, but with a forecast of KP5 or 6, there is a chance. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/northernlights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>northernlights</span></a></p>
G7IZU RRD<p>Space Weather </p><p>The BGS (British Geological Survey) has issued a rare geomagnetic storm forecast covering the period until midnight UT 23 March. Note that this forecast does not account for the increased activity we saw this afternoon at mid-latitudes, which could have been the storm arriving very early! </p><p>BGS: Yesterday afternoon a faint but fast Earth-directed CME was observed. The source was a filament eruption from a central location on the solar disk, associated with a M1 solar flare from a nearby active region. </p><p>BGS: Models suggest this may arrive in the first forecast interval (late 22, or early 23). The combination of CME impacts and a high-speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole may result in STORM activity. </p><p>BGS: As we are near the equinox, when the Earth is more susceptible to solar activity, it is possible geomagnetic activity could reach STORM G3.<br> <a href="https://geomag.bgs.ac.uk/data_service/space_weather/3dforecast.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">geomag.bgs.ac.uk/data_service/</span><span class="invisible">space_weather/3dforecast.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/spaceweather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spaceweather</span></a> <br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aurora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aurora</span></a> <br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bgs</span></a></p>
