Sun still up in Wyoming. I have never seen the Northern Lights and hope to be able to tonight. We shall see.

I just walked outside, super clear out, but no colors

I wonder if I can see them with NODs this far south.

WOW
 I figured we were too far south(I’m 1.5hrs east of Austin) to see anything in the north sky tonight but I braved the mosquitoes for a few minutes to get these. Never thought we’d see anything like this unless we went to the arctic. This is exactly how it showed up in my camera, no photoshoping or anything, the camera actually sees more than the naked eye can.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I tried several setting on my iPhone and DSLR. Still nothing in North Texas. There's a ton of light pollution around here (just north of DFW) so that may be impacting things.

ITS HAPPENING!
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 40 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Widespread voltage control problems and protective system problems may occur; some power grid systems may experience component failures or protective device trips resulting in blackouts or disruption of service. Pipeline currents can reach hundreds of amps. Spacecraft - Systems may experience anomalies to include: extensive surface charging, unexpected orientation and attitude changes, uplink/downlink errors, and satellite orbit degradation. Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) may be degraded or unavailable for days. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation may be impossible in many areas for one to two days. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Florida to southern Texas and southern California. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings |

Barely but just visible to the naked eye in NC. Camera makes it look pretty insane with a long exposure though.
 I can only recall seeing an aurora once this far south before. Neat. |

Only time I've seen this here in the midlands of SC was back in the very early 90s. It must have been a very strong showing because we weren't even aware it was something that was happening but the sky looked very red. Older fellow had to tell us what it was.
