Hey,
Tomorrow I fly up to the North Slope in Alaska to work on the coast. (This is the very very top of Alaska somewhat near Prudhoe bay)
Here is my idea, the conditions should optimal for viewing:
~This time of year at this location there are only a few hours of sunlight
~No artificial light- no light pollution.
~cold cold clear skies. Ambient air temparature -45F/-42C.
~Excellent view of the Aurora borealis
Laser wavelengths I currently own.
405nm638mW in a Cree host
445nm 1.5W in my own stainless host
520nm in sinner's bare copper pen host
650nm Sony DVD burner build, oldie but a goodie.
I have other lasers in these wavelengths but for various reasons these are what I might bring. No room for them all!
Bloompyle might start a GB on a 515nm diode. I wish I had one now because I think that would be cool laser to bring :san:
Cya.
Edit. There will be sunlight but the angle of the sun will be low in the sky*
