This was captured on dashcam by Chris Cameron 

Seen a report of a fireball meteor this morning looking South East about 06.00 

Signed- 641

Luckily the rain cleared about 23.30 , saw the Aurora alert on here and skies were clear, so headed out around midnight approx four miles from town. 

White pillars were visible with these next shots. 

Pixel time lapse 

Seems I made a duplicate thread. 

Don't know if the mods can delete this one.

Thanks 

Nice captures

I see your cat was checking out the Aurora too. I wonder if cats can see Aurora, as they have very good low light vision. 

Noticed there were forecasts for a possible G2 on Spaceweather, didn't expect much. Seems to be one of the best times of year for strong Auroras. 

Luckily the cloud cleared about 23.15, was halfway into bed and thought, may as well head out a couple of miles north of town. 

After I checked here and saw mcrowie had pics from Cornwall, I thought must be worth a go, but often it's quite a brief show.

These are from a Pixel 4a in astro mode. 

Just before midnight

Then i returned home and picked up another battery for my camera, and went out again 03.00 to get this shot with my phone.

 03.15- 03.40 there were white pillars like searchlights, at first I thought these were coming from a light source in nearby towns.

I think DT is dark table 🤫 

I've used RT before, i can't compare it to other RAW developers as I've not tried them. One thing I found with RT is the noise reduction seems a bit inconsistent, or it maybe a lack of practice, although I've had good results with it. 

The light traveling from right to left looks like an aircraft. 

The other patch of light could be from a security light or similar, somewhere out of shot reflecting on your lens. There is a similar patch of light later on in the video. ( lower left 1.57)

DIstant lightning also 

The last four evenings have been cloudy, I missed the close conjunction. But a gap before it was dark on 7th March , a quick shot with the phone.

A couple more photos from Sunday night

Nice shots 

I was even later to the show, but still got a subtle display.

Good captures 

Was this on Sunday about 9pm? 

There is a bit of red on camera hereabouts, but not too much ATM.

Glendale app seems to be broken and has been most of the day (Showing server offline). Makes no difference as it's wall to wall cloud here - and forecast to be like this all week so I'll miss the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus as well, having watched them get closer over the last week

The Glendale app was off for a while yesterday too, but it was working around 11pm- 1am. I thought it was too busy or something. 

Aurora watch is red ATM 19.00

Last night the humidity was relatively low compared to our usual damp atmosphere. I think this helped the sightings of Aurora. When it's humid the light pollution domes from towns flare up. 

I missed the first round at 9 pm onwards, I was out taking photos of Jupiter and Venus untill 8.30 pm, but had to get home to make meal and sort pets out. 

Decided to go out again about 11.30 pm . My camera was picking the Aurora up but there was nothing to the eye.

First time I've been able to report aurora on camera to the Glendale app. How do you add photos to the gallery on the app? 

Hi Reggie

It's nice to see you have been getting your shots of the comet. 

Do you use a tracking mount or telescope for this? 

Handheld with the phone

A couple of photos from last Monday 20th February. I was hoping to pickup some zodiacal light, but it was hazy. So I pointed my camera upwards.

I've just about picked up the zodiacal light from this location before. But this evening it was more zodiacal Sh1te than light.

Laying the phone flat was better

From Tuesday 14th February

Monday 13th February 18.45 

These are from tonight , very murky hazy conditions , an hour later the mist had thickened up to prevent any more photos.

Great shots, especially the ones with Mars. I was clouded out that night. I'm glad you got some images!

Reggie

Lucky gaps for Mars, but tonight is awful seeing. Could barely see the Pleiades or Mars. Very hazy and humid, and some saharan dust likely too.
