[Az-Geocaching] Solar Flare

[Jim Scotti]

I saw a prediction for arrival but it was quite variable anywhere from the
start of the night to after midnight for arrival, so I'd just check maybe a
few times during the evening.  Getting to some dark skies away from city
lights might help as well, since the aurora here in AZ is at best not very
bright (probably fainter than the Milky Way, but typically red in color, so
if you can't see the Milky Way, the sky may be too bright....).

Good luck!

Jim.
