Any Auroras?

[SBGemini]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but please move it if it isn't! I was wondering after the recent Solar flares if anybody saw or imaged any auroras? It would be great to see pics!

Hi SBGemini,

I think the cloud has killed the joy this time - judging by the response to http://stargazerslounge.com/astro-lounge/130903-anyone-actually-getting-any-viewing-done.html

But I may be wrong, maybe some people have managed to see it

I live in north wales and have dunso for 34 years and never seen the aurora this far south, yet.

My Mum & Aunt were brought up in Bwlchgwyn high up on the Ruthin road out of Wrexham. The claimed to have seen a couple of fantastic Auroras before the war but my dad always said it wad the blast furnace being charged at Brymbo!

In 2002 we had massive auroras. Here in NE Scotland they filled the entire sky and they could be seen in Northern France.

Here's hoping there's a couple of massive flares this year to make a good display.

Saw them here ( Northern Ireland ) on a couple of occasions though i`ve a feeling it was closer to the solar maximum than it is right now. A real jaw dropper to witness

Clear Skies,

will

Unless the Aurora is completely grey filling the whole sky, then no aurora in the NE Scotland. In fact, for about a week now, no stars, moon, sun, sky black or blue - just grey with occasional H2O and freezing cold. A bit like standing on Venus, but cold and grey.
