   Hi August,   
      
   On 2026-01-19 19:01:00, you wrote to me:

   There were sightings. But it stopped around midnight. I didn't even have a   
   look, because I thought it would mostly be visible in the morning. It would be   
   very hard to see anyway, because of the light polution in the middle of the   
   town where I live...   
      
    AA> I haven't seen a dazzyling northern lights event in years.  Mostly it   
    AA> has been some faint "all green" version from my central Ontario

   You are even more south then me, so it would be more rare to be able to see it   
   in your location. But you probably don't have light polution like me...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
