last night's aurora - pics from

Here are a couple of pictures of last night's aurora.

I have copied these from the Stargazers website which is an excellent source for information and reports of visual sightings. A couple of pics from Aberdeen and another two taken from much further south at Kelso.

The magnetic index is quite high and a weak aurora was visible about half an hour ago. It may come back and be a bit stronger later tonight. You nned to be away from street lighting and look to the North - North East.

This is a link to the map showing the latest auroral ovals as tracked by satellite.

i was out earlier trying to photograph it from the war memorial in stoney but the fog rolled in. it was looking pretty promising too.

i did manage to get a decent picture of Stonehaven harbour though before the fog started coming in: http://davidofficerphotography.co.uk/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=26:photo-of-the-day-stonehaven-harbour-at-night&Itemid=60

This has been the third night running for pretty good visual aurorae.

This live wecam in Sweden is a good indicator. When the display is strong in Sweden it is likely to be seen from Aberdeen. Sunday night's aurora was very strong and seen as far south as Yorkshire.

Shame it was wet and cloudy last night otherwise I'd have gone out again. Though apparently it was so bright it was turning the clouds green!
