Default Aurorae from Ireland and new flare

Just back from viewing auroral activity on top of Culcaigh Mountain,
County Fermanagh (Alt around 2,000 ft, 54 deg. 17 min North) Most
intense aurora I've seen for many years. Sky in all directions
between East, through North, to West, lit up like a flourescent tube.
Beautifulpastel greens and reds, writhing curtains and flickering
beams and rays of light. Brilliant display all evening from late
twighlight. Still continues currently.

Dom.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I also saw several ( seven, I think)
meteor trails as well this evening. Sky very clear and transparent
outside the area of intense aurora.
