Aurora alert

[Tommohawk]

hi, just noticed aurora alert has gone off the scale. Anyone in a position to check it out, or maybe its another lawnmower?

Wow, let's hope it's for real.

[Beulah]

It's genuine. See you later!

Pretty rubbish photos - apologies in advance - it wasn't the most spectacular Aurora but I really like the buzz of getting out there!

[Beulah]

Just back - no show visually, but this is straight off the RAW...faint reddish Aurora between the LP,  perhaps? Mid Wales.

Looks like something there alright @Beulah I convinced myself I could just make out a slight glow on the horizon visually.

Cheers - It is just about perceptible and you can see the pinkish hues unlike the LED/sodium LP domes from towns.

The sky has cleared here on the Fylde but it doesn't seem very transparent. No sightings for me but my horizon is nowhere near low enough to see the limited displays shown in the images above.

Looks more promising for N Scotland and beyond.

Easy naked eye here but hills - trees - clouds etc

Well done all!

I've heard that on a good show Aurora can be seen from Exmoor - bit of a hike so i just nipped up the top of the Quantocks to black hill (358m) to see what I could see.

Generally the sky here is pretty good but looking North you get the fleshpots of Barry Island, plus Cardiff and Newport, and Weston Supermare to the East.

So - here's the pic, not sure theres much there other than streetlights though! Some faint banding maybe? Screen artifact probably.
