Great aurora show for the first time since October for me! Was also nice to meet up with @chimneybrick.bsky.social again! This video contains all my timelapses from when the aurora started to brighten all the way to the substorm.

South of Worcester, also socked in with clouds. If I didn't have work tomorrow I'd be using my aurora spots map to find a spot in S NH. Maine cam looks fantastic!

Yeah, checks out, got an auroral substorm alert on my PC, then watched the substorm unfold on the Maine livestream, that will come in super handy, thanks man! Sharing that with all my photog friends in SNE.

That is an insanely good resource to have, thank you! My friends and I just kinda use the GOES Magnetometers to guess when we will get a substorm in Southern New England. Would love to test this out next chance we get! Again thank you!

How'd you know to go out last night around 11:45pm? I gotta know lol

The best image I pulled off my camera of the conjunction of Mars and the Moon, just after it reemerged from behind it! I don't have the best lens in the world but it was enough to see which is awesome. #photography #moon #mars

A snowy owl smiling at the camera.

Be like him and smile! #photography #snowyowl

Triangulum Galaxy

Orion's Nebula

Andromeda Galaxy

Got a nice clear (and absolutely frigid) night to do astrophotography on Sunday, and was able to get good shots of Triangulum, Andromeda, and Orion. #astrophotography #photography #galaxy

This was a throwback, please actually do this in the future, I absolutely love it.

The Andromeda galaxy.

Took my telescope out into the cold tonight and was able to capture #Andromeda pretty well despite the light pollution. Absolutely love #astrophotography. Still waiting for a chance to head to less light-polluted skies. #deepsky #photography

Look what I found! 👀👀👀 From the Blizzard of 78! #newengland #mawx #ctwx #riwx #vtwx #nhwx

Northeastern Aurora Viewing Locations - Google My Maps Drop this down to read the full description!!! This is a work in progress! I am working to add as many points as possible that have viable northern lights viewing possibilities. Factors that were t...

Please note, it is very unfinished, 100% of MA, CT, RI, NH and a lot of VT, with some of ME, PA and NY. I also recommend reading the full description of this map.

With a non-zero chance of Northern Lights this weekend, it gives me another chance to post this map I have been slowly putting together. It is a map of aurora spots for the Northeast US! If you want a spot for the aurora this weekend, see below! #mawx #ctwx #nhwx #vtwx #aurora #photography #wxsky

Incredibly based

Especially for space weather stuff, gotta get that map out to anyone I can (that lives in the northeast)

How can one get themselves into the packs? 👀

Oh you cooked with this one.

Waves in the sky

Frost frozen in leaf-like patterns on a surface.

Incredible frost last night/this morning. Almost a leaf-like pattern as the ice spread out. When I went outside last night at ~32°, I could hear the ice forming on all the surfaces around me, was quite cool. #winter #wxsky #Photography

Another one of my favorites around the same time, where everything seemed to center itself right over our heads.

It's by far my favorite of the night, I love the tiny little spiral curl in the center.

4 photos from your favorites folder with no context.... And go.

Almost that time of year for me to try deep sky #astrophotography again. This is my attempt last year at #Orion nebula under Bortle 5 skies. Hoping to get another attempt this year with light pollution only 25% as bad.

The northern lights taken from Massachusetts on October 7th, 2024.

While looking back on the mostly overlooked October 7th geomagnetic storms, I found this image that stuck out to me for how nicely the #Aurora is reflecting off my car. Wish I had the foresight to angle the car a bit more and get more of my windshield showing... #photography #wxbsky

A sunset.

Lovely #sunset from New Haven, CT this evening. #photography #wxbsky

Oct 7th, 2024, just a few days before the massive G4, we were treated to a much weaker but just as beautiful display. Stitched together timelapse of over an hour, showcasing all 3 phases of the Aurora. Credit to @tornadof123.bsky.social for helping take photos of me on my car. #photography #aurora
