Aurora alert

[Ibbo!]

Lovely views on Shetland cliff cam 3

Not further south then like last month

[mcrowle]

Been viewing and imaging it from here in Cornwall. I'll keep an eye on conditions and will hopefully head out again a little later.

Good luck all!

Regards. Mike.

A quickly processed image, taken along a (currently very muddy) footpath near home.

Just got a red alert

 

[Kon]

Weak display in Wiltshire. Pixel 4a on astrophotography mode.

Grabbed a few images from my home and nearby in South Norfolk, between midnight and 1am….

All captured with hand held iPhone 13. The darker images were 3s exposures. I then drive a couple of miles for a better horizon and took 10s exposures, but I think the display was already weakening, though it was still visible naked eye as a red glow over a large region of the northern sky, with at least one column visible.

I went out to my Neowise spot and I think caught the slightest,smidgen of a hint of the aurora on the cam.

North Somerset.
Clear of clouds but high haze nelm 4, north horizon limited to 25deg

Nothing !
I was out at 00:15 to 00:45 during the first red alert
and again at 01:30 to 02:00 during the second red

Now it is an amber alert and there is an inviting bottle of amber nectar on the shelf over there, what should I do ?

Also North Somerset. Nothing on show here either. Go for the nectar is my advice 😁

Lancashire! The land where clouds settle down to retire 

I don't think I'd even have checked the footage if it wasn't for this alert, so thanks!!

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. 

One from the camera 

 

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

A lot of you must have rural like skies, I imaged with my canon between 11 and 12 before some clouds rolled in and recorded from an indoor cam from 1 until morning, nothing was captured. I did capture two small meteors however.
