Hi all, I hope it will be clear where you are tonight and maybe early morning?, there is a current active solar storm alert which *may* produce some very nice aurora's:

Typical Bloody Irish weather,no Noctilucent clouds, no Perseids, No Aurora. KP value is 6-Storm level and there should be an aurora visible. Got a report from our club chairman in West Galway who got a break in the cloud that he could see faint beams.

Although I cant confirm this as when I went out I could clearly see Capella in a large hole in the cloud but no Aurora although may have been there earlier, any one getting any luck?

Total cloud in Tullamore, about to make my way home. Fingers crossed it'll be different in the next 11 miles...
