AuroraWatch - red alert...

[LaVey]

Thought i'd share this, signed up a year ago.. and this is the first alert I've had:

http://www.dcs.lancs.ac.uk/iono/aurorawatch/

[skye at night]

I hope it comes to something....

But.. Aurorawatch are pretty hopeless at getting it right...

I prefer Gedds Alaska and to keep an eye on what the sun is doing via the usual sites.

lmao... guess you were right steve, got this one this evening:

From: aurorawatch-red-alert-bounces@dcs-tesla.lancs.ac.uk on behalf of Aurorawatch red alert (aurorawatch-red-alert@dcs-tesla.lancs.ac.uk)

Sent: 28 October 2009 18:18:06 To: aurorawatch-red-alert@dcs-tesla.lancs.ac.uk

We are very sorry for today's false alert which was due to man-made

disturbance at our Lancaster field site.

Regards,

the AuroraWatch team.

I've been using the aurorawatch site as my homepage for several years now. I used it to compare activity with my own magnetometer as they can be a bit of a pain to set up. Apart from the occasional glitch, I've found them to be ok.
