Aurora visible (at last!) N.Somerset
Finally, just before midnight the clouds began to part and from
North Somerset, SW of Bristol, I got to see some activity :- In the W-N-W to N, patches and diffuse glows of pink and pinkish white. (in the region of Cygnus and either side). Pinkish white shafts crossing it from time to time. Also from NW thro' N to NE the usual arc with white and greenish-white shafts extending from it, some reaching as high as Polaris. At 00:20 activity died down and now there is just the northern arc remaining. Came in for a warm-up ! Back out in a min. Malcolm, well pleased |

It's not over yet, a very brief display of a red patch over Cassiopeia(s shot through with a thin white shaft extending upwards almost into Perseus ie. almost overhead, which is quite something for me this far south. I think a hip-flask and some good wollies is called for :-) Good hunting, -- Malcolm. |
