Aurora

Good chance of seing an aurora tonight for anyone in Scotland north of the Forth/Clyde valley and possibly even into Northern England and Belfast. The weather though is really dreadfull but it looks as if this event may last into tomorrow night when skies should be clearer.

Current situation:

Geophysical Institute Auroral Forcast

The green line to the south is about the limit where you may see some activity low on the horizon.

Thanks Frogesque but looks as if Im to far south

 

Guess that counts me out. :(

 

It was still raining here so I took off to try and find a rain shadow - ended up just North of Aberdeen, got back at 6.00am (OK - I'm a nutter :D )

 

would i see anything from whitley bay we are right on the north east coastline

 

Hi Rosa. There's an outside chance you may see something again tonight.

 

Cracking pics froggy! Digital?

I've been listening for auroral reflections from a beacon in Sweden on and off and apart from a few very brief and weak signals yesterday have heard nowt.

 

Lovely, frogesque ... thanks for sharing your special moments!

 

Nice pics froggy .Was driving all Friday night and saw nothing .

 

Rosa auroras can be seen as far south as the Scilly isles it depends on the size of the suns geomagnetic storms and cloud cover on the night they hit
Froggy your not a nutter well done great pictures well worth the run about

 

Great pics Froggy and great info Walnut!!
Didn't know we could see things like that down here, will have to pay much more attention to the nights skies
