Aurora australis - keep an eye out tonight!

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10663330 our own Southern Lights??

Looking out my window, it is VERY unlikely we will see any sky tonight. Very overcast. Would be amazing to see though.

I'm not holding out much hope, the clouds here look fathoms deep. Shame, because it would be a good show I suspect and a bit out of the blue too as we're in a period of low solar activity.

Will have to try and stay awake:rolleyes: long enough to have a look tonight.
No clouds to be seen as yet.
They are really spectacular to watch. I used to see them quite often when I worked at the pub in Bluff and wasn't getting home till 4am.

Any idea or about what time!!???

Damn! It's peeing down out there, with a heavy rain warning out. No chance of seeing the sky from here! Would somebody with a clear sky take a piccie for me and post it here?? Pretty please?
