Here's a list of helpful web sites about Northern
Lights. While the first one has alot of info for
photographers, it does have some important info for
casual visual observers, too. The ones that follow do
have real time data and / or images.
Many reports of auroral activity seen low towards the north from the St. louis, Missouri area. Some pics taken by a member of one of the local clubs even made it onto local news broadcast last night.
