Last night was a bust for auroras, at least, for most.  It didn't even seem like a timing issue, as the Kp index (a measure of the level of disturbance in earth's magnetic field)  didn't really move much.  That being said, the Kp index is derived from a weird mix of science and witchcraft over a 3 hour window and gives a standard quasi-logarithmic number that's valid for all latitudes which is reported after the 3 hours intervals at specific times ie 0000 hrs, 0300 hrs, 0600 hrs, 0900 hrs...1800 hrs, 2100 hrs.  Anyway, fingers crossed for the rest of the weekend and here is the Kp forecast courtesy of NOAA.
