CMASians who despair of having missed a rare opportunity, be comforted in knowing that nary a whisp of the aurora borealis was visible this past Saturday. We had a great star party for objects high overhead, despite the somewhat soupy horizons that may have obscured whatever aurora otherwise may have been visible. It may also have been simply that the aurora never came quite low enough in latitude for us to have seen it. A Web cam in Millinocket clearly showed the aurora on the night before our star party, so there is hope that our time will come.
