Aurora Borealis Alert: Get Ready to Chase the Northern Lights Again Tonight
The geomagnetic storm that brought the Northern Lights to our skies over New York City last night is sticking around, and there’s another chance to catch the celestial event tonight. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has extended the geomagnetic storm warning, revealing that the Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Oregon.
Not Just a City Phenomenon
While light pollution in New York City can make it challenging to see the Northern Lights, many were able to catch the show last night. However, if you really want to make an effort to get great shots, consider heading outside of the city or to a high or flat area with a clear view of the horizon. We recommend exploring rooftop bars or spending time with friends at NYC parks.
When and Where to Expect the Best Views
The geomagnetic storm is expected to peak between 10pm and 2am, making this the best time to head out and find a spot to view the Northern Lights. Be sure to bundle up, as it may be a bit chilly outside.
Tips for Taking the Perfect Shot
Here are some tips to help you capture the beauty of the Northern Lights:
- Head to a high or flat area with a clear view of the horizon.
- Use a tripod and a camera with manual settings to control the exposure.
- Set your camera to Manual mode and adjust the exposure settings according to the light pollution in your area.
- Use a low ISO (100-400) and a wide-angle lens (10mm-35mm) to capture the best shots.
Conclusion
Don’t miss this chance to see the Northern Lights again tonight. Get ready to bundle up, head outside, and chase the celestial event. With the right equipment and knowledge, you’ll be able to capture stunning shots of this natural phenomenon. Happy viewing!
