Maxime Fiset Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 My first aurora was... hm I don't remember exactly, around 2002-2003, something like that, during october. I'm sure any admin here remember that, it is said to have been a crazy week. During this year, I have seen three auroras. They were not exactly pretty, because I live in a 700 000-folks city, so all I could see was green curtains moving, north, over the hills in which the suburbs sprawl. I have only seen one since then, when I was on a trip north to go fishing. It was only green too, but at least it wasn't like... miles north, it was above me, or mostly above me. We were coming back from the trip, exhausted, so we didn't really stop to watch them, but I'm sure was glad. That was perhaps a hundred miles (160-ish kilometers) north of my city, in the Parc des Laurentides. You can google that if you want, you'll see it's quite the place where one would expect good stars/planets observation, but maybe still a bit too much south, below the 49th, so more south than the CA/USA border. Slightly more north than your place, Abe. You'll have other occasions =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
