@sundogplanets @stacey_campbell while I rely on the billionaire streaks for internet connectivity in my remote location, I do empathise.
As your contribution from an Australian today, I propose those satellite lines be formally referred to herewith as "billionaire skid marks".

We live near Tamworth in NSW, Australia. This is as far from aurora generating country as you can get.
But...
In November, last year, there was a massive solar storm that delivered for us. You barely see this with the naked eye but the camera brought the colour out.
Achievement unlocked. But really would like to see a better aurora one day.
