Have you looked for aurorae because of the recent solar activity? If so, were you able to view the northern lights?

Every time I get a chance to see the night sky, I'm looking
up. The last time I saw and aurora here in Central Texas
was in the mid to late 80's, it was beautiful for Texas. It was a pinkish orange in color and lasted quite a while. It
was in the northern sky, so I know it wasen't a sunset.
I have been hoping to see another one but only wonder if
and when it will show itself again. Maybe with all the solar
activity going on now, we down here in South Central Texas will be able to see another aurora. :)

Yes and no / yes (cause its the southern lights down these parts lol).  Wasnt as spectacular as hoped tho.  Moon influence was a problem to.

Interesting that September 2005 is the most active month since 1991.  So much for solar minimum around the corner.

The last sathurday there was a public stars event on Montreal island organise by the SAM.club the 10 sept.2005. After the evening went every people were gone at arond 12am  the last four of us  have ad the chance to see a fantastic waving of green light  over head. in the north est-centre of  montreal  we had a clear sight no cloud  .I  had taken somme nice pictures I`ll try to send to send to astronomy magazine soon.

I live near Boone, NC and sometimes we see aurorae.The weather here has been really clear and dry lately but I have not been able to see any northern lights...yet.

If you really want to see the aurorae, take the trip to Iceland.
