Tonight- Northern Lights
According to Accuweather, this last Thursday put off a big solar flare. We're supposed to be able to see the Northern Lights (arora borealis) tonight further south than usual (like MD was included in the possibilities).
Drove 45 minutes to get away from light and have been standing outside looking north for 45 mins or so... Nothing yet. 
Anyone have luck tonight?

I think they stayed very far north, up into Canada. Maybe, our Canadian friends got lucky. I didn't see anything at the base of the Pocono mountains.

I see them up here occasionally, although not as spectacularly colourful as the far north. Cloudy tonight, so no sightings.

We stayed out until 10:30, but daughter and I are going to get up later. I'd love to see them- even if it's faint.

Problem is, I live in a pretty populated area- the sky's just so bright.
We'll probably try and do something for the meteor shower on the 22nd, too.

The northern lights, even at the Calgary latitude are absolutely stunning and I can sit watching them for hours. Tonight, not so. Right now we're having a blizzard, so seeing anything beyond 10 meters is impossible.

Time to go wake her up... She is such a hard wake up! I wonder if I just threw her over my shoulder- how far could I make it before she finally woke up and asked, "what are you doing?!"

Glad you posted an update as I was curious if you guys were able to see the lights.
