Alan, do you have a resource that you use to estimate likelihood?

Thanks Dave, good luck with your trip. Even though we are moving away from 'Solar Max', auroral activity remains good and strong. Up here in North East Scotland, although we have plenty of good, dark skies, bad weather / heavy cloud often spoils our chances.
A couple of good sites that I use and are equally suitable for North America viewers are -

There are another couple of sites that work well for us here in the UK and Mainland Europe, they are -

I'm sure there will be similar sites across your side of the pond.
