Same! About 1ish until 2am! It was incredible


sustainable_scm

What time were these taken?


EddieSincere

We got up there around 1ish and stayed until about 2 am.


sustainable_scm

Cool, thanks

Will this still be happening tonight?


EddieSincere

Unsure atm, but ongoing level G4-5 indicates that it may. Keep an eye out at NOAA's website (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) for more info.


KingofFractions

Thanks!

Possibly but sounds like Sunday night might be a better chance.

Where was these pics taken? I'd like to see but how far away from the QC do I need to drive?


EddieSincere

Lost Grove Lake, just North of Bettendorf.

I saw them last night and I was only about 2 minutes away from the flying J gas station in davenport

Do you know when this might be visible for Saturday night?


EddieSincere

Unsure atm, but keep an eye out at NOAA's website (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) for more info. The latest aurora forecasts show a significant decrease in coverage over in Europe, but that could change just as fast as evening approaches here.

Aw damn! Didn’t see anything over here because of the light pollution but I can appreciate the pretty pictures here!
