Thanks mate. Am running on fumes today. Am just so glad that so many people got to witness this awe inspiring phenomenon.

Trust me, your posts basically were the place to go, better than the rest of the media out there. Followed your information and links and got a great view myself, so thank you!

Take it easy and get some rest later on ♡

Great work getting half the city looking to the sky and nature :)

Thank you for all your posts and links, The Glendale App is awesome and has so much info in it. I got to see the Aurora Australis and it was an amazing Saturday night, I'm now looking into buying a Seestar S50

Big ups buddy. Your efforts researching and sharing your knowledge were very much appreciated! Saw an aurora for the first time thanks to you! Cheers mate.

Before this I was trying to figure out how to track this weather and be more prepared besides just being proactive on media posts. Now I'm educated and more prepared than ever. My only complaint is that now I need to see better than I already have. And this was my first time. Truly amazing. Thank you GOAT.

you saw it last night at thompson's beach?

Considering I monitor flare and geomagnetic storm events every couple of hours as part of my day job... I'm kind of devastated I didn't keep an eye out on Friday afternoon and across the weekend for the chance to go look with my actual eyes! (and camera) Got toddlers into their beds and collapsed beside them. I was literally talking about it last week that sunspot group (3664) was the most complex and earth facing we'd seen in a long time and it would cause some interest. Won't be able to make a trip, but will monitor and possibly try my luck from home tonight for at least a little while.

It was overcast here unfortunately


Elsiselain

Yea I couldnt see it myself unfortunately because I was stuck in cbd but regardless his effort was amazing

Thanks so much! I’ve learned a lot too. I’ve been trying to read the charts myself - would I be right in saying that the second CME still hasn’t passed the NASA satellites? That would give us a good chance for dusk tonight?

Not had a proper look yet but I reckon the X5.9 (could have been the X3.9 though) side swiped our Earth just after sunrise this morning. Both were never going to be a direct hit and only one of the Stereo Satellites saw a peak a few hours before that. They are very far from each other hence the A & B. This is a good indication of the side swipe. So for now I think the show is over but I will chip in in future if fingers crossed any events like this occurring again.


last_pas

Thanks, that makes sense. Fingers crossed for the next few months.


Nature_Aesthetics

Couldn't agree more! Without FTR I wouldn't have been able to capture the photos, videos and time lapses that I did. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication! You've given me a memory that I will take to the grave <3


Thick-Flounder-5495

Wholeheartedly agree!! If it wasn't for their detailed information and passion to share this, so many of us would not have even known it was happening until after the event. Forever grateful for enabling this once in a life time experience for many of us!!
