Subject: Cascades2 report for Fri evening, Feb 20/21.

Only a short report because it's pretty late (early?)...no launch
tonight but closer than we've come so far.  The winds never
quite cleared out, and the solar wind never quite came in...
but both considerably improved over previous nights.  This was the
first night so far where we had a real possibility of going.
We did get a (fairly wimply little) substorm at the end of
the evening;  it gave us some pretty aurora but didn't
really turn into the sort of active aurora we want.
Better luck tomorrow.
Hanna took some nice pictures of the aurora from Toolik,
Meghan will post.
The Finnish name for northern lights is revontulet, fox fires.
