Thanks, Slythe.

Thanks for the info.
'Hope I can see it from NC…

oooh! Time for a campfire at the in-law’s place on the lake tonight, I think.

Jois, is it your humble opinion that we might see the Northern Lights tonight, then?

Thanks, I hadn’t heard about it until now.

I saw them last February while I was in Alaska and they were great!

Hopefully, I’ll get to see them closer to home tonight.

From what I’ve read so far and IMHO, yes. Course, it might depend on where that lake is located… Start anytime after sunset and midnight after MN the moon should spoil the view for a while. I’m getting out the lawn chairs and asking the neighbors to shut down the outdoor lights for the night. If that’s not enough I’m going to go down one of the dark scarey lanes where people often find hooks and a little human flesh hanging off their car door handles when they get home.

" A bright waxing quarter Moon could obscure faint northern lights before moonset at about 1:30 a.m. local time."

Better wording?
