Auroral Storm over Ireland.

Ran straight outside when I saw this post, completely 100% clouded out here in Maynooth.

I had a great view from near the Sallygap with John Flannery (photos on the way- BE WANRNED!. Lots of green pillars arcing towards the zenith. Some red in there too. A very nice display, exceeding that of October 2003.

I know Galway had a view too.
