Spaceweather.com is one of my favorite web sites. I get alerts from them for all kinds of interesting space phenomenon including auroras. They have done a bit of redesign and now have a new gallery dedicated to auroras. I saw my first auroras in Vermont, during college, traveling in the fall through the mountains to go to EMT training at Johnson State College. Most recently we were treated to spectacular early evening auroras here in Maine in the fall of 2003.
More about the new gallery:
"A note from Dr. Tony Phillips, Spaceweather.com webmaster: I've been making aurora galleries for Spaceweather.com since 2000. It is both a tedious and extremely enjoyable task. To the hundreds of photographers who have contributed their hard-won photos, I thank you sincerely and hope that you will send more in the future.
Browsing the galleries, you may notice a few things: (1) Contrary to popular belief, you can photograph auroras in places like California and Florida about once a year. The trick is knowing when to look. (2) September, October and November are consistently the best months to see auroras. Why? It's a bit of a mystery. (3) And finally, auroras do not vanish during solar minimum. As proof, we offer the spectacular galleries of 2005."
Enjoy!
