The last aurora warning turned out to be a flop (at least at our
latitude), but this one has much greater promise (an actual flare!)

>From www.spaceweather.com:

"AURORA WARNING: An M4-class solar flare erupted near sunspot 672 on
Sept 12th, and the blast hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME, movie)
toward Earth. The incoming cloud could spark a *strong geomagnetic
storm* when it arrives on Sept. 14th. Sky watchers everywhere should be
alert for auroras after nightfall tomorrow."

Keep your eyes (and camera shutters!) open!

           Really hoping these clouds go away....
