Aurora in Jamno, October 2024

+
+ +
+

On 9th of October early UTC an X1.8 solar flare was observed along with a halo coronal mass ejection associated with +it. They were produced by sunspot region 3848. At that time the region was in a nearly perfect Earth-facing position. +Because of the region position and coronagraph imagery CME was estimated to hit Earth and do it quite fast. Space +Weather Prediction Center announced G4 stormwatch for the next day. +

Regular weather predictions were quite saddening. AROME and COSMO models were provoking me by showing fast moving +clouds and potential periods of clear sky between 22:00 and midnight CEST. Eyeballing the clouds gave similar impression +and so I decided to gamble on it. Once SWPC posted first information on a million kilometres mark I packed my stuff and +drove off to a middle of a field despite having a stratus blanket over the head. +

Gamble paid off. +

+

Photos are in chronological order and I tried to select them in a way to represent each unique phase of the show. I +setup around 22:00 CEST and left 01:32. I had hot tea and hot shower and I didn't get ill the next day. +

I tried to experiment with camera settings this time. The results are slightly out of focus. Now I know. I think. +

Once SWPC summary of the event is posted I'll try to put the link here just like the last time. If you spot it in the +wild and it's not here, please send me an e-mail. +
