Northern Lights in the Pacific Northwest May 10th 2024
I pulled this of the internet:
A geomagnetic storm is hitting the Earth right now. But what does that mean for people in the PNW area?
While the storm has the potential to impact satellites, GPS, radios, and power grids, its most immediate impact for the Pacific Northwest might be more positive - a rare glimpse at the Northern Lights.
"We might have the opportunity to see the auroras fairly well from here tonight, depending on the timing of when this event impacts the Earth,"
Even though it's not a guarantee, the conditions are better than normal and there are things you can do to increase your chances of seeing the lights should they be visible.
Find a spot that's dark. Face north, ideally with a good view of the horizon.
Keep an eye on the numbers tonight and over the weekend. Solar weather is incredibly complex. You don't have to know the ins and outs in order to see the lights, but you want to keep an eye on something called "Kp" short for Planetary K-index, which measures the level of solar particle radiation by its magnetic effects. If the Kp is six or higher, head to the spot you've picked out for viewing. If the Kp hits eight, everyone should head outside.
Auroras are best at midnight or after midnight as long as they’re actually happening at that time.
Take a camera with you and set it to long exposure, like the night sight setting on your phone’s camera. Taking a long-exposure image of the northern part of the sky will allow you to capture the beginning phases of an aurora before your eyes are able to pick it up.
The aurora borealis is more likely to be visible because this is a particularly large solar storm, which means the sun is spitting more particles toward Earth that affect the planet's magnetic field.
“There’s always material coming at us from the sun, but this is sort of a bubble of it that's been popped and pushed our way and so there's more of it and it's faster when it's coming towards us and so that has a bigger effect on what's going on here."

    Years ago my dad had a Maule M-4. 210 hp, constant prop. We flew it off 1/4 mile strip n our farm. When he went to the factory to buy it, during the demo they took off inside the hangar and were airborn when it cleared the hangar door. It could take off in the length of a football field and clear the goal posts. This was a full size, four passenger plane that could carry about 1,000 pounds plus fuel.

    That old footage is absolutely gorgeous. Color rendition is way more important than resolution, and the equipment quality shows. If anything I'm bothered by the limited dynamic range, but that's an inescapable feature of early CCD technology.

    You take huge risks, especially where help is essentially not available. I see this in those who skydive and wingsuit it; they take bigger and bigger risks until the inevitable happens. For them, the price is death. For you, perhaps not, but you're in a hell of a jam either way. Don't do it on our account.

    Why in the world would you paint your wings in camouflage for back country flying???? Not good head work. With your accident record you should paint your plane bright neon glow in the dark. That would make Search and Rescue’s job easier.

  • @Terry-md5ui

    I painted Govt and commercial aircraft for years,plus a few Helicopters,I also painted frack and vacume tanks as well as other sorted military contracks.I live in south central Oklahoma,and we get some pretty cold winters, nothing like Alaska,but down in the single digits many times.One thing I learned on painting frack tanks an vacume tanks,was when it was cold I would put heaters inside the tanks to super heat the skin temperature of the tanks.These tanks were from 3/16 to 1/4 wall thickness.When we started painting our exhaust fans would immediately suck out any heat we had in our booth,but the skin temperature would stay warm enough to allow us to paint without the getting to many runs due to the paint not flashing quick enough.Due to the paint material we use being flammable we had to suck all the overspray and fumes out before we could turn on our booth heat.Looking at your plane something small as a couple big blowdryers stuck up inside your fuselodge should warm a small plane up quick,and you could tape off around the cords to seal off the inside.I would make some kind of rack to hold the dryers up right.I enjoyed your video very much you dont see a lot of aircraft paint videos on here much,and these Stol planes like you guys fly up in Alaska are one of my favorite to watch.Good luck and keep those videos coming.Im retired now I spent over 40 years as an industrial painter and certified welder in the oil and gas industry here in Oklahoma.
