Thanks for the heads up. Good luck, aurora hunters! We are properly poorly here but will stick the head out the door a few times.

Look forward to seeing some pictures looks promising

Low cloud and mist here, but will keep looking outside towards midnight, just in case; the great display of April 2000 (with the whole sky covered with aurora even down here in the Thames Valley) seems a very long time ago now!

70% orange sky at the moment, very misty

Its just been uprated to a red alert - possibly visible across the British Isles.

Only time I have seen it was at Kelling Heath star party. Thought it was stadium lights pointing up or something at first and thought the imagers would be really annoyed. Until someone pointed out the sea was that way  

Conditions getting worse here.

Hit the RED ALERT level now- not seen that for a while.

And guess what- it's cloudy here!

[John]

It's clear here but no aurora visible as yet. Jupiter looks good though

[Psychobilly]

It's not brill here but the new street lights help a lot... They have doen quite a few more streets around me with the new LED lights making a big difference

Trying out the  full spectrum 7D with the 200/2.8 at the moment but will keep the 5DIII and 24-105 Handy as well... 

[ZEbbEDY]

gloomy to the max here

[Psychobilly]

Tempted to head for the Black Mountains just in case... Will give me better views to the North over darker skies

[FenlandPaul]

Thanks for heads-up. Cloudy here in Cambridgeshire but I've let my folks in the north-east know.

Wall to wall cloud in central Scotland...typical!

[happy-kat]

Nothing here, back in from local dark spot and just murk, not cloudy just soup like fog stuff, took loads of images of well nothing I think.

[mshaid]

Nothing in bradford yet

[Psychobilly]

Visible photographically from Cray reservoir in Brecon Beacons and feint hint visually..

Taking pics at the moment

[astronymonkey]

Clear from here in the north east but a lot of moisture in the ajr which is adding a lot of orange sky glow. No aurora though !

[Vince1963]

Nothing here in north lincolnshire but low level fog

[JemC]

Nothing here currently in Lancashire  , well at least where i am, quite clear otherwise with usual LP

[Psychobilly]

Just a quick Rough... Not the spectacular shots we see from further North but just glad to see  and capture them from closer to home

They were brightening a bit as I left - or my dark adaption was getting better as the traffic got quieter...

Nice shot! The horrid mist that's been hanging around here isn't showing any sign of relenting, doesn't look good.

[Psychobilly]

I had to drive up into the Brecon Beacons to get above the mist and get a Northerly relatively LP free horizon...  I think the army are out on Epynt as what looked like a couple of flares went up...

Glad I did

Peter...

Great shot, well done Peter.
