Is anyone watching closely now for the possibility of seeing Aurora (Northern Lights) here near the Oklahoma City metro this month (October 2024?)

Copy from “Michigan Native Photography” on FB: some guidance on photographing auroras:
Here is a basic how to guide for cameras and phones to capture the auroras.
I’ve been receiving so many comments on how to capture them on camera, and as a professional photographer, I figured I would share some tricks to help most people capture the lights (I’ve included multiple images of the Auroras I’ve captured). A tripod is recommended for everything below. These settings are subject to chance based on conditions so adjust as needed.

I just got home from doing some photos and timelapse of the aurora tonight. It was quite the show from dark until about 10:30pm. I went out to a place west of Watonga, not CRO.
I’ll look forward to the photos you captured. How would you describe the views from that site with naked eye?
Thanks for sharing, Andy.
Very nice, Andy! Amazing shots!
When it appears this far south, it often is reddish, and more colorful than they are way up north. Most that I saw in Alaska were blue-greenish, and often it was hard to distinguish them from clouds. Occasionally we’d see some that were as beautiful as what you captured, but they were rare.
And usually the prettiest were when it was extremely cold. -40 or lower. I didn’t stay out watching them for long. I doubt the temperature had anything to do with it, but that’s what it seemed like to me.
Nice. You can call yourself an Iono Storm Chaser now.
Awesome, Andy. I knew if anyone could catch it, you could. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Fantastic video - your work is always very artistic!
I love it!
