Fox Fires 5: Useful links
The final part of my Aurora Borealis guide is a list of different webpages which might be helpful to you.
Update December 2017: Salamapaja’s own Aurora Realtime & Forecast page has been created. It covers the most important data for chasing the Northern lights and is continuously being developed. I will write an explanation page as well, in which I will tell how to interpret the data.
