You were much more committed than I was! Don’t think I’d make it 4hrs anywhere beside my bed that late at night. Ended up seeing a lot of fantastic pictures on here and IG, so at least some Mainers got to enjoy it!
My hope was that I could walk on my deck and look north to see the auroras. The reality is I played with my flashlights in the fog for 10m then went back to bed. Still had fun!

Yea, they just didn’t make it down into Maine. Sorry to get everyone’s hopes up.

I had high hopes that they’d trickle down into Maine. I was up looking for them the night before but the coast was pea soup at midnight.

Sky guide is pretty good, though I can’t remember if it’s free. Stellarium is awesome, can go back/forth in time to see astrological events, again not sure if that’s free either.

Very true, real time observations will vary. Conditions are good for viewing in our area, though not as good as last night with KP index at 5-7.

It’s all good. The times are given in UTC, and EDT is 4hr behind that. Peak looks to be 2am UTC, which is 10pm EDT. Anytime between 9-12 tonight should be good. Just look north!

I keep a pump sprayer with water, isopropyl alcohol, and a drop of soap in the garage. After driving around on snow days, I like to spray the windows off when I get home. It’s a little bit of work, but it makes my life easier in between car wash visits.

Yea, it is at my house. I’ve seen the sun rise every day since we switched from daylight savings.

You got a good boy there. My boy is missing the opposite K9, bottom left. He still monches on everything though, knowing full well monching is how he lost the last one.

Reply to comment by DidDunMegasploded in Maine is out of pediatric hospital beds. “As of Nov. 24, about 30,000 of the country's 40,000 pediatric hospital beds were available. Five states are at 90% capacity or higher. Currently the most overwhelmed state is Maine, at 109% capacity” by membaberry18
Yea, this is the case. Our pediatrician said that a lot of the hospitalizations are due to a combo of RSV and flu or Covid. The two illnesses combined are just too much for the immune system.
Stay safe out there Mainers.

The snakes stick their head above the grass, and then you can see that they are indeed, snakes.

It must be pretty magical to see the auroras in all their glory. I saw them as a green and purple hue to the horizon in 2012 in CA, peaked my interest from then on. So much going on out there in space, our magnetosphere, and atmosphere; just look up.
Yea I am on r/flashlight! Great little community that gets super stoked on illumination. I purchased the Sofrin SP40 and BLF SP36 via recommendations on there, great lights. The next one I get will be an LEP thrower, some will do 1000yrds+. Remember seeing growers use LEP fixtures back in the day for vegetative growth, pretty cool to have that power in your hands!
