Aurora Borealis Hunt

[Luvtotravel]

after reading up on the high probability of the northern lights being visible from the us for the next few months i was wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction as to where id be able to see it from. id be willing to travel a couple of hours (from ny) for a sighting but would not like to go on a wild goose chase. anyone else interested in this or is in any way knowledgeable enough in this area to predict a probable area?

but would not like to go on a wild goose chase.

Any time you go out on an aurora hunt you need to expect a wild goose chase. If you're going with high expectations you're bound to be disappointed.

You want to get somewhere very dark as far north as possible.
Here's one place you can check to find areas with dark skies. http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/

These two post basically sum it all up:

Follow @aurora_alerts on Twitter, match the forecasted KP to this map, find a dark area (blue or darker) on this map, and check the weather forecast for clear skies.

So funny you posted this today. I was in Alaska yesterday for 1 day (not the best season but still fun) and the borealis were on KP 3 which was visible from Talkeetna and North. Clear skies and cold weather. We spoke to a lady who said that November 30-31 is supposed to be a solar storm which will make the borealis visible from Anchorage and south too.

If the AB are visible on November 31, it will be a certain sign that mashiach is imminent, i'y'H.

You'd want to stay as far away as possible from Light Pollution, ie, stay away from a town.
In Northern Europe you'd be better off Feb - Mar.
