Neat! Any idea where on the Oregon coast would be the best place to watch? Hard to tell specifics from that map.

- jakear 6y agoAnswered my own question with the power of macOS preview. So the center of the outer band lies at around Newport, then continues to just south of Bend. Cross referencing with the dark sky map, your best bet on the coast is probably around Roosevelt Beach, though the Oregon Dunes and Dismal Swamp general area also holds promise (I have no idea how far out of the band you can be while still seeing it, they list Salem as a good viewing spot, which is much further north than the band)
- jakear 6y agoOops, update again: I called up the research institute and they informed me that the outer band is actually the line past which you cannot see the aurora, so in fact anywhere north of Newport should be good, the northernmore the better
