Self Aurora Watch: Before Dawn Tuesday 8th Sept

Hi Folks, things are a bit fruity Aurora wise.

Sunrise is at 6:30am, Moonrise is around 4am.

HuXt forecast has things peaking a bit before dawn. For those that rise early or get home after a long night shift, we may have a chance of on camera Aurora before moonrise and sunrise.

We need at least 100GW of Hemispheric Power for colour to show up on camera.

Happy Hunting :)

Keep your eye on the numbers before venturing out. Space Weather is a fickle and variable beast. Not to mention terrestrial weather and cloud cover.
