Good news for ya! I found that the "mass coronal ejection" is peaked right now. We should see it good again tonight! You can check at: spaceweather.com From my chart. At 12 midnight. From my location. The moon will be low in the east north east. If you follow the same arc that the moon takes (all our planets in our solar system and sun take that same arc). You'll find Jupiter a little ahead of it to the right and up a little. I forget how bright compared, it shows up. I'm a very passive entertainment only beginning astronomer. You should be able to make it out with a decent pair of binoculars. You can indentify it by the moons around it. I can look up what and where you should see the moons tonight if you wish. If you keep going on that arc, you'll find Saturn. It will be about 2.5 times the distance from Jupiter that Jupiter is from the moon. Saturn will be straight up from ESE/SE. Jupiter should be about straight up in the East. The moon will not have reached East yet. You should be able to make out a flying saucer like shape to Saturn with good binoculars. I can with my 8X40. If they're real good, you can make out the rings. I do with my 16X70. You can look at what your sky should look like and when at astronomy.com . All you have to do is register. Then click on "The Sky Online". It is a skymap. It is pretty good. Yes I'm in South Dakota. Actually we don't get aurora alot. People I talked to last winter said they had never seen aurora here anywhere like I saw here. It looks like we're getting good aurora activity. Take advantage of it. BirdDog
