Default Aurora Tonight

Hi All

Very bright aurora seen this evening with a double arc with a base
height of about 15deg and azimuth range of about 300-040 deg. Top of
display about 40-45 deg. Very bright patches at extreme ends of
display around 10:25pm local time with some horizontal movement of
features.

Could be a good sign of things to come this winter. I know I am lucky
enough to live very north in the UK but if you live in the south do
not think you will never see an aurora. I have seen excellent photos
taken of a display observed from Chichester.

If you want to know more about making observations of the aurora and
to see a few images I have taken from the UK please visit my website
at;

Sorry if you have problems accessing the site, BT are giving me a poor
service.
