Aurora watch issued January 15-16
The Australian IPS has issued a Aurora watch alert for the next 48 hours due to
a coronal mass ejection.
As always look to the south for shifting red/green glows, in yesterdays event curtains and beams were reported. As usual, dark sky sites will have the best chance of seeing anything, and always allow around 5 minutes for your eyes to become dark adapted.
The all sky aurora camera in Southern Tasmania at Cressy may be of help in monitoring for aurora
