BlueWolf Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I don't care if it's -8°C right now. I don't care that I need to go to bed asap since I need to wake up early. I don't care of the fact that my hair is frozen stuck to my face. I just can't stop staring at the sky. It's beautiful. It's... alive.

BlueWolf Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Very nice.... is indeed one of the things we want to see . My daughter lives in Finland, Helsinki, so maybe have to take a holiday there. Although it's not impossible to see northern lights in Helsinki, it is still considered rare there. I'm about 930km north of Helsinki. That's about the same distance as your home to Nice in southern France, lol. Here's an interesting website for aurora forecasts: http://www.aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast/ You can see how much is visible at the moment. They use a KP number, which determines (roughly) how vivid and how south you can still see it. With no notable sun activity it's usually between 2 and 3. It's visible for me when it's above 2. In Helsinki it has to be 5 or high and to see it in the Netherlands it has to be 7 or higher. Anything above kp5 is considered a solar storm and will raise the heartbeat of any photographer when there's one coming, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
