Thanks, Ken. That's exactly the information I use. Furthermore, solar particles arrive at the Earth generally 1-2 days after explosion from the Sun. That's when I start to look more closely at the spaceweather.

Cheers, James. I hope to present more aurora images in future as solar activity rises towards max.
