Aurora anyone ? !

[SilverAstro]

Kp 7 on WingKP ( have not seen it that high for months (years?) and predicted to go higher.

That is good enough for middle to south  UK !

Great stuff! Pity there is permanent cloud here where I live tonight!

I guess it's passed now? Readings back down to almost baseline. Shame as it's clear here

No, WingKP still up at 6.6 ish,  lots of auroral activity on amateur radio, Dxclusters/summit still alerting,  go out and have a good look

Been in and out for 2 hours having a look, trouble is I'm trying to see/photograph any aurora into my worst lp

[tooth_dr]

Not much! but I appreciate the heads up

Looks like it might be calming down a bit as well, so no chance from Bedfordshire.

This is the exact same place on the 7th march last year:

Illustrating my difficulty to discern any faint aurora in amongst the N horizon LP...

Last night was Kp7 with nothing obviously showing down here, will have to check the net for info on the geomagnetic storm on the night of 6/7 April 2000, when the entire sky here was filled with auroral displays from about 01:00
