  Subj: Re: There is a chance of Northern Lights  
  Hi August,  
    
  On 2026-01-19 19:01:00, you wrote to me:

  There were sightings. But it stopped around midnight. I didn't even have a  
  look, because I thought it would mostly be visible in the morning. It would  
  be  
  very hard to see anyway, because of the light polution in the middle of the  
  town where I live...

  You are even more south then me, so it would be more rare to be able to see  
  it  
  in your location. But you probably don't have light polution like me...  
    
    
  Bye, Wilfred.
