Aurora - get outside now

There's a green aurora happening right now, 10.15 pm in the northern sky. Get outside if it's clear and have a look. Preferably in dark skies. Going to take photos now, talk later . . .

Pity about the Irish Weather - still cloudy here in Naas.

Just been out - visible in North -East England.

From my light-polluted back garden it's very faint, but HUGE

Green-ish hue - spread across almost 90 degrees of sky.- WOW!

Just worked EI7IX Dermot on morse via the auroral zone, Scottish beacon on 144.453 audible also, Wet night in Cork so no visual,

Zippo to be seen in Limerick, except the orange skyglow

Very very disappointing night. Me and Richard drove to Newgrange, where there was a thick fog and we couldn't even see the monument, never mind the aurora. Went to Hill of Slane, which wasn't much better. Misty, cloudy, and the whole place was flooded with moonlight. Got a couple of very poor photos with slight greenish glow on the northern horizon. Drove to Collon then Ardee but the cloud came in totally so we came home.

Got some nice photos of other things, but the only half-decent aurora photo was the one I took IN DROGHEDA at 10pm before we went out into the countryside.

I just hate that.

The aurora was no better than that of November 9th last:

Hope some of you fared better!
