AURORA ALERT

Aurora section director Ian Brantingham reports that a coronal hole

strike occurred from 0600 1st March and is now approaching its

maximum.

Be on the lookout for auroras as far south as southern England.

coool,is there a best time,midnight or not matter? im at most southerly point of england,so if i see it then it would be covering whole of britain,

[Keiran]

[haitch]

It would have to be pretty bright to show through the low cloud we've got in the West Midlands

[helios99]

[Keiran]

[zhgutas]

thick haze all over here and it was level 10 earlier this evening according to NOAA POES

;(

[virtualpilot45]

Any time in particular? Will they show up better on photos? Would love to see the aurorae!

[Hypernova]

No sign of the auroral ring over the UK, it seem to be extended over Siberia. It was level 9 earlier in the evening but it was still pointing the wrong way.

There is a haze over us at the moment so I doubt there'd be much to see anyway

[virtualpilot45]

DOH!

[MikeWilson]

I spent an hour setting up a first light imaging run of my first narrowband filter, I was busy struggling to focus on a star when I look up to see why I can't see it and wham - almost complete cloud cover.

It's that thin, nasty, misty stuff that's almost completely opaque. Grrrr

[Sp@ce_d]

No sign here (Mid/East Lothian border) Been out making the most of it all night.. nice pretty clear night tho.. bit of ground mist and cold.. told I have to thaw out before bed..

[Jannis]

[yeti monster]

I've had a 'vague' mention of a sighting in the pennines, although I have yet to recieve any firm report. Doesn't help me, being at 21 degrees North, the wrong side of the globe and clouded out....
