I think the solar minimum is the sun's quiet period...
which means that aurora's are at their weakest atm.
you want solar maximum, when a solar flare can in rare instances (I've seen it), bring aurora's down to the 40th parallel here in colorado.
I've seen it exactly once, and it was faint...
I've yet to see a truly spectacular aurora unfortunately.
I just don't have the time or resources to go see it right now.
on the up side, you'll get a lower dose of radiation from flying in a high altitude aircraft or space plane.
and the magnetosphere can recharge better because it's not being pressured as much by our star's tantrums.
