We're heading to Fairbanks at Christmas to seek out the aurora. Yes, mad, I know.
In September, nautical twilight (dark enough for aurora) is 10pm to 5am so there's plenty of dark time. From my reading, the main problem with going at this time of year is that it's not cold enough for winter activities but too cold and unpredictable for the summer ones.
Despite all the weather stats and probabilities and things, one thing for sure - if you're not there, you won't see it.
