Re: [APML] Aurora warning tonight

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

I have found the MBK Team Aurora page to be the most useful, it provides
data from multiple sources and allows you to make your own assesment.
http://www.orion-drustvo.si/MBKTeam/auroramon.html
Also a quick look at http://www.spacew.com is good because it shows if
any of it's participants/readers have reported auroral sightings.
Last night I looked out several times and although the indications were
good we had so much haze that the summer triangle was just barely poking
through the clag. And there was no sign of auroral activity although the
reflected ground light sources may have washed that out.
