Sweet!
There's been heavy solar flare activity for the last couple of days, and some
of the slower high-energy particles are just impacting Earth's upper ionosphere
now. Check out the aurora forecasts for the Northern Hemisphere at the NOAA's
website:

Look at all the 1 to 10 erg energy distributions! Looks like North America's
in for a lightshow starting sometime after midnight Mountain Daylight Time.
I'm gonna be 50 klicks east of Edmonton (nice and *dark*) around 3:00 A.M. with
a Zuiko 21/2.0 at about 4.0 (try to reduce any coma), some Velvia, a tripod,
cable release and the trusty OM-1n. I'll try out various shutter times and see
what I get!
