http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20100803/sc_space/spectacularnorthernlightsshowsignalssuniswakingup I read that the farther south you are the less chances you have of seeing it, and if your in a big city it will be hard to see because of the lights. I'm in MN and am not near any cities so I should be able to get a good view of this. I'll definitely take pictures if I can.

Cool... wish it was late at night cause I have been doing a lot of stargazing anyway. Hell maybe I will set my alarm and see if anythings kicken at 3 am.

that would be pretty epic but would suck. i dont think ill be able to see it, i live in houston. but the worst thatll happen is major black outs for a long time. which isnt good for people with medical problems that need the power.

Yeah that would be pretty bad, but they really dont know if that will happen or not. Its possible but scientists have no clue how powerful of a storm it will be.

haha yeah solar tsunami/solar storm Is what there calling it. Basically there was a huge sola flare and it was directed toward earth and there is a bunch of plasma being shot towards us. As far as I know it isnt deadly but it could fuck up a lot of electronics and give us an epic light show

I live far enough north that you can see it. It is a pretty cool sight to see especially when it gets the wave effect going.

I live in central FL so most likely it's a no show for me. Would really love to see the auroras one day though, inebriated or not.

i've got a d60. It's pretty easy. Does the d3000 have video? I was wanting to sell mine and get a d90 but too much $$$. i suggest you fuck with it now, or wehn it gets dark so you know how to use it. You might want to look up how to take night pictures with it. Mine has a night time option on the dial that i can use.

Not visible from my house. I live in the souf and have at best this time of year. with the leaves on the trees, a 45 degree angle view of the sky. Did see one nice meteor or whatever. Was bright white and zipped through in a flash lighting up sky in a path half as wide and as long as my pinkie.
Well worth stepping out for a bowl.
This thread has some win.
