Tonight I did some research on why the aurora monitor was no longer sending out short term aurora forecasts. The aurora monitor (found here) used NOAA Wing KP for short term aurora forecasting. Sadly the USAF has ceased producing the data for this forecast. This page from the NOAA site explains in great detail. This means until I can find another data source the aurora monitor will remain offline. -Troy
I have upgraded the backend software for the website. This is the software that keeps track of user accounts, payments, and logs people onto the site. All current accounts and subscriptions have been moved over to this new system. Please E-mail me if you're having issues. -Troy
I have taken the aurora monitor offline to try and fix it. This summer it has gone into offline mode. I suspect that it has something to do withe NOAA changing to HTTPS. -Troy
Last night we had a power outage that outlasted our battery backups. The live cam will be offline for the next 16-24 hours will I try to get everything going again. Currently -26F in Fairbanks tonight. Stay warm everyone. -Troy
