Paddlewisers: I forward the following in case anyone has clear skies and likes night paddling. The complete message follows in case anyone wants to subscribe and receive news of good aurora observing conditions. Apparently now is a high point in an eleven year cycle of geomagnetic activity. On the strength of this, I went for a short paddle last night, but the weather was overcast. Good luck with it.
