Cathy,
Thanks for the heads up. This is right around the corner from me, so I
will head over to it. I did not see a time listed, so I went to the
Brownell Library web site. It looks like it is 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and
it is being put on by the Vermont Astronomical Society.

Space Weather from the Surface of the Sun to Aurora Photography
By Charles Baldridge
Charles will cover the relationship between space weather and aurora activity.
The talk will explore different features on the Sun that produce active aurora
on Earth and cover about how to monitor and track the features. We will cover
an overview of space weather and how it impacts Earth's magnetosphere. Finally,
we will explore the world of aurora photography with some helpful tips and
tricks for getting great photos of the northern lights and share some of those
images.
