I tuned around on 160 yesterday around 9 p.m. and heard the same warbling signals and thought something was up with old Sol. Title: Re: Aurora alert!

What was your exposure time, 5 minutes or so? Enough to accumulate that sort of "twilight" sky but not too long that the stars moved much. Good job. I poked around the various receiver locations on globaltuners.com after hearing effects here in Maryland on 75m. Sure enough a receiver in Canada was really warbaly, while others to the south, laterally to Europe, less so if at all. Title: Re: Aurora alert!

Enough to accumulate that sort of "twilight" sky but not too long that the stars moved much. Good job. Thanks. That was a 20 second exposure, at f4, ISO-800, 50mm lens... Canon T2i , with OWB filter. ( the "Original White Balance filer was in.. because I ripped out all the factory filters in front of the sensor, for astrophotography) I just wish I could convince my neighbors to the north that they can turn their outside lights off once in a while, instead of having them on all night, every night. I took over 110 exposures, that was one of the better ones. Still practicing, but hard to practice when the ( visible) events are so few and far between! I bet Ron had a much better show in North Dakota though! Title: ! Post by: AF9J on October 21, 2012, 02:55:47 AM That figures! I missed a decent aurora again! :-[ So much for working some 2m CW DX!
