I'm in north Brampton. If it's clear enough I might take a drive up HWY 10 to try to catch a glimpse. |

Yeah, best place to see it is deep in the countryside, with as few street lights and city illuminations as possible. If you're in Toronto, even on a clear night - good luck!
Looks like the clouds might actually clear up, guys - good news! I'll be sleeping though, as I need to be up at 4am! |

Its already starting to clear up over here, southwest of Hamilton. To see the cloud cover maps, click on this link - helpful if you want to drive out for the best place with the least cloud cover tonight:

If you can get a chance to see it, is your camera sensitive enough to photograph it? |

longer exposure might do the trick, no? |

Maybe not. It might reduce the image to more of a blur and you'll loose detail. Now I'm not sure if a tiny exposure of, let's say, a few seconds would work? Then again I could be wrong especially if there's next to nothing in quickish movement the aurora streams.
I'm skeptical that you'll see images like ...
