Williamsport is under clouds.
No rain just clouds.

Aurora in August? I doubt you will see anything interesting. Go to Alaska between November and March if you really want to see the Aurora Borealis.

Yes, due to some intense solar flares the past couple of days. We may even get them in Connecticut, something I haven't personally seen in 60 years.

But the Little League World Series is in full SWING there. Pardon the pun, it just STRUCK me.

It is still possible to get intersting shots this time of year. This was taken a few weeks ago under similar conditions about 30 miles NW of Minneapolis. Not Alaska or Iceland levels of activity, but I am more than happy that I saw it close to home.

I remember seeing them near my home in NW Pennsylvania when I was in my mid teens. They were fairly high in the sky and quite brilliant. I have not seen them since. because I am living in that area again, I think I'll try to get some photos tonight.

Thanks for the information!
I just got off an Alaskan cruise today, and the other day sitting in the dining room near a window having lunch I glanced out the window and saw this rainbow in the water. Quickly took a picture with my iPhone.
Have any of you ever seen something like this in the water? That was a first for me. It was gone a couple of minutes later.

Don't know. But it looks similar to a Sun Halo, which is created by ice crystals in the atmosphere.

That’s another first me. Thanks.

Sadly this sequence of solar emissions did not live up to its billing. Back to waiting for next time.
