So when is the right time to go to see Northern lights?
Or is it just too infrequent to plan on?
U cant plan on it really.
The week before i came it came all the way down to the edge of Anchorage which is quite rare and it was a moderate 3 rating. and they were able to see it from the city .
We had 2 and 1 rating all week so it wasnt good, and we had a full bright moon. so it was pretty light even though we drove deep into night .
there are some blogs that ppl have seen the lights say when best time to go , when its really cold like Jan , feb time . but there will be NOTHING else to do as u see that we didnt do much . Unless you are a photographer id say scratch it and go in the summer , but if you're a photographer then ud prob love it.
Also the best spots are near Fairbanks , a little more north of it .
Nice TR! Sounds like you made the best of a fairly lousy situation. Any pics to share?
I think this sums it up best:

lol, yes true. and i have pics
