Is it a health issue, or does it impair electronic communication? Perhaps you could enlighten me, an URL or two would get me started. Thank you..

The following give some estimate of what latitudes aurora can be seen

Look fella..most people just don't care if there is auroral activity. And if they did , they would have there own way of finding out already. This constant harping of yours about K indexes is really quite bland and tiresome. I can't even begin to imagine the brain behind all these "warnings" constantly. What a joke. |

They aren't "warnings", they are advisories. And I, for one, am happy that someone is posting them here. Auroras are rare at my latitude, and I don't regularly monitor solar activity. It is nice that somebody is doing just that and putting these notices up when things get interesting. Observing auroras and solar activity falls completely within the charter of this group- what's your problem? Would you bitch if somebody posted that an interesting asteroid was approaching? An unusual positioning of Jupiter's moons? A meteor shower? (Everyone has there own way of finding these things out, after all.) _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

Thanks to Sam's kindly advisories I saw the November 2003 aurora here in Texas that I might have overlooked otherwise. Thanks much and again for the advisories, Sam. Please feel free to keep 'em coming, and know that you are appreciated. M |
