Hi all.  There's currently a geomagnetic storm, and according to the  
NOAA map, auroral activity is coming further south than usual:

Currently it's reaching the VA/MD border.  It's still got a ways to go  
before it gets THIS far south, but if you're out observing anyway, you  
might check the northern horizon every now and then.

PS: i have class tuesdays 5:30-8, which is why i haven't been to  
meetings lately.
