Photographer Guy Strong (http://www.guystrongphotography.com) captured the aurora borealis just outside of Leland, Michagan on November 14th, 2012.
Those are some damn good picks. Thank you for posting W666
Was informed there could be some good ones due to the GEO storm. Super charged!

Finally get 50min of pc time. 1st in a few days. Just gonna throw some things out here for you.
Bosb33r thank you for you sunspot.sun vids. Always a treat.
_______
I know that the Sunspot #'s do show to be a bit lower at this time. Although we did break a daily sunspot number recently. The old record was in 2007 if memory serves my. I do not know the number in '07 but the number that broke it was 188. Here is a bit of data on sunspot numbers.
The Sunspot Cycle
(Updated 2012/11/02)
The sunspot number is calculated by first counting the number of sunspot groups and then the number of individual sunspots.
Detailed observations of sunspots have been obtained by the Royal Greenwich Observatory since 1874. These observations include information on the sizes and positions of sunspots as well as their numbers. These data show that sunspots do not appear at random over the surface of the sun but are concentrated in two latitude bands on either side of the equator.
MSFC Solar Physics Branch members Wilson, Hathaway, and Reichmann have studied the sunspot record for characteristic behavior that might help in predicting future sunspot activity.

Rich316 or anyone else for that matter, if you want more specific things or data let me know. I will try to find things of interest. As always no promises just an honest effort.

The Sun seems to have been somewhat busy as i have lately. Here is an update from Dr.K.Strong. No time for me to look up or produce anything.

I had captured some things on the 23rd. Finally had time to do something with them. Our 3rd CME hit in less than a week. The 1st two were held off by our mag field. Lets see what a filament hit brings us. May be a good thing to look into. May have to watch how the two compare.
Captures in video are 99.% from nov 23, 2012.
Dr.K.Strongs update from today.
Low: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Forecast: Auroral activity will be low. Weather permitting, low-level displays will be visible overhead in Barrow, Alaska, Tromsø, Norway and Tiksi, Russia, and visible low on the northern horizon from as far south as Winnipeg, Canada, Trondheim, Norway, and Igarka, Russia.
