Sydney, Aren't you where you can see them? I think we're at approximately the same latitutde. My family has seen them when they're out away from the city, though rarely.
No. There are times when they say we should be able to see them, but I don't know anyone who has ever seen them around these parts without travelling up to Canada.
They truly are amazing, and something I hope you do get to see someday. The farthest south I've seen them was in Montana, but you do have to be far away from light polution. At least an hour's drive from a town of any size.
Here in Alaska we see them frequently in winter and sometimes in spring and fall. December and January are best, but I've seen them in September too. Where I live in Bethel, they are mostly blue-green and white, but occasionally we get reds. Just awesome! Come on up for a visit sometime.

ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteAlso cool to watch the Big Dipper slide by, slowly rotating to stay aligned with the North Star.
