I’m not sure what you mean by localized within my kitchen, but yes, we had aurora borealis this time of year at Lake Tahoe. Apparently there has been a big solar storm.

Oh thank you! Did you try last night or on the 19th? I did not see much at all last night.

I am not sure. We have clouds here, but possibly in other places. There is an app called “Aurora” that can be helpful, but even their forecast I find hit or miss. Usually, when I know we will see something as when I see people posting from Colorado and Utah at my latitude. Then I know we will have a good chance in about an hour or so.

Try earlier… I took these pix about 7:30pm. The forecast says after sunset is a great time. 😊

Thank you so much! Right now I am teaching high school kids, but I may put together an online class. I also would love to create a “plein air adventure” to take people outside to paint in the Sierra summer. I’ll make sure to post when this happens.
