Solar Max: Get Ready to Image the Aurora | 2023-10-22

Solar cycle 25 was predicted to a below-average cycle in the beginning. Since it started in December 2019, it has continued to break predicted records. Daily we see the sun freckled with sunspots. As solar events continue to grow, we find the aurora making appearances farther south than we would normally see it and the northern states and other parts of the world have had some incredible light shows. Now is a great opportunity to learn how to capture the Northern/Southern Lights with Terry Mann! Her talk will cover the lessons learned about imagining the aurora and information to help you image the aurora. Terry Mann has been imaging the aurora and the night sky since 2005. Imaging the aurora started on her first trip to Alaska. Since than she has seen the aurora from her own backyard in Ohio and the upper tier of the lower 48. Hopefully with Solar cycle 25 being as strong as it has been, more people will have the opportunity to see the aurora in their backyard. Terry is the current Secretary and past President of the Astronomical League. She co-hosts a monthly program called Astronomical League Live and enjoys deep sky imaging. Terry enjoys traveling and finding the darkest skies possible.
