Aurora Happening NOW! (11:28 PM 15 April)
Unaided eye aurora are being reported from Tasmania NOW, despite cloud. Kindex is 4,
Bz North but impressive glows and beams are being reported. Go out and look
NOW!
EDIT: Current reports Park Beach, Old Beach, Howden (now clouded out), Murdunna and Esperance WA!
Dark sky sites have the best chance of seeing anything, and always allow around 5 minutes for your eyes to become dark adapted.
As always look to the south for shifting red/green glows.
The all sky aurora camera in Southern Tasmania at Cressy may be helpful, beams are being picked up on it at the moment,
