Definate glow to the northern horizon between the little bits of cloud. First aurora for years, there may have been other chances in the last year but cloud is PITA... No clouds here, but my northern horizon is light polluted. Just about enough aurora in the NW to see slight green colour distinct from light pollution but not a particularly strong display when I was looking. It made BBC weather forecast on the late evening news 10.30pm. Alerts from spaceweather.com and Lancs Uni Aurorawatch. Kp about 6, which it has to be to produce a visible aurora here and forecast to rise: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/wingkp/24_hour.html Unfortunately it fell back again soon after. Still a nice pre-start for Astronomy Week which begins tomorrow with local events around the UK. http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/ More on Astronomy Week 1-8th March http://www.astronomyweek.org.uk/ -- Regards, Martin Brown (cross post to u.s.astronomy added) |
