Aurora

More Creepy Night Photos

by

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Friday Foto’s this week include more creepy night photos. Who does this? More people than you think. I actually got busted on a couple of spots around Craig the other night. Just like fishing. They beat me to the spot.

Speaking of fishing, there is a lot of surface activity in the wee hours right now. Lots. Might be worth a shot, and if the Aurora Borealis continues to glow, you won’t even need a headlamp. Chug a mouse? Skate a big Caddis? Black streamer? Yes.

HOW & WHEN TO SEE IT

I get questioned almost every day about finding out when the Aurora is going to be visible in North Central Montana. Not really by people hoping to capture images, but just by folks who’ve never seen it. Check out Soft Serve News to find out the current activity and “Storm” warnings. If you’re a Facebook afficianado, it’s probably easier to follow them and you’ll see the warnings on your FB feed. I also check out Spaceweather.com, which has lots of cool scientific stuff as well.

If a Guy Went Fishing Tonight…

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]…he might have a pretty good shot of watching a great Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) show while standing in a Montana trout stream. He’d have to stay out a little later than usual. The bugs might be done and he’d have to throw a streamer or maybe a mouse.

A good magnetic storm is in the forecast for this evening. You can keep tabs on such things at Soft Serve News.

These pictures are from last night around Cascade. Quick and dirty just a few miles from town. There was no “large” geomagnetic storm in the forecast, so a bit of a surprise. Tonight is supposed to be “the” night.

Might be pretty cool to watch the Aurora down around Sheep Creek, or float Pelican to Cascade if you’re that brave. Bring bug spray.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
