We're going out aurora hunting tonight.

The forecast calls for a "3" which is moderate, but it's good enough that our newspaper gave everyone a head's up. If they come out, I should be able to get some pretty spectacular shots, what with the full moon and all. It's been crystal clear here, and it's not even terribly cold (upper 20s).

Fingers crossed.

Haven't been back here for a while.
I'll try to catch your shots when I can.
Looking forward for at least one or two.
