Nope, would it not be a local thing, due to the clouds in the background ?
so only those in the vacinity would see it?

Yes it would be however on this occasion we have had 4 of our members who have seen it at different observing locations throughout N.Ireland so it must have been a wide spread event however 3 out 4 seen the intensity of the one that i did. It was hard to find words to descibe it...it has made a deep impression on me.

The same crimson red Sun Pillar photographed in Sligo 21.15 UT after a most impressive sunset.

Very nice pics, I wish I'd seen it.
Seems like it was visible to atleast the northern half of the country.
Might be worth watching the sunset aghain this evening for a repeat performance.?
