Location: Saint John, NB, Canada

Weather: Mostly clear, no wind, warmish 2C.
Report:
The large sunspot group 3664 released six consecutive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) beginning on May 10th, 2024. The aurora oval from spaceweather.com indicated that the CMEs began impacting Earth around 14:30 local time. Aurora sightings were reported from regions worldwide where night had fallen. In Saint John, dense cloud cover continued well past midnight, obscuring any potential views.
At around 0430 hours, I observed significant aurora activity; it was faint but visible in the west near Arcturus, and also in the northeast. Processing these images revealed colors that were previously invisible.
Spaceweather.com reported significant ground current activity during aurora time.
