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.
