Possible auroras tonight.

Great pictures!

Damn, I wish I’d seen this before I went to bed! There seems some speculation that they might be visible again tonight…

Seen for the first time in south east Suffolk - couldn't see much with the naked eye except a slight red and green tint to the night sky, but showed up much better on the phone's (poor) camera in night vision mode

Likely again tonight according to the TV pundits.

Likely again tonight according to the TV pundits.

don't be disappointed if they're wrong.

They said the same the last time it was strong in the UK and despite nothing showing on the actual forecasts for the following night, they kept saying go out again tonight! on the news.

but saying that, this is a rather large storm.
the last 24hrs on this https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast is quite staggering

I'm staying at a friends near Gretna and he got me out of bed to see them

Working night shifts I've seen aurorae 3 or 4 times over the years, but last night's was almost as intense as some of the good ones back home in Shetland. Gobsmacking.

Likely again tonight according to the TV pundits.

It looks like there is a good chance. The website linked in my first post says the storm has reduced in strength but is still ongoing and more of the coronal mass ejections are expected to arrive over the next 24-48 hours which will add more energy to it again.

They also mention that there was another strong solar flare in the early hours this morning. Whether that has sent a CME in our direction isn't confirmed just yet but if it has there could be more to see in a couple of days time.

I've just checked the latest forecast. Looks like being cloudy where I am overnight tonight.

Just seen that on BBC news

Also saw 3 or 4 satellites, a shooting star and (I think) the ISS passing by. I was also hoping at least one of the photos would have come out with a silhouette of a bat flitting about in the Northern Lights, but I'll settle for what I managed to get.

He was probably on an emergency call in Gotham City.

Northern lights in Yorkshire last night

Looking east with bonus aircraft.

By a strange coincidence this plant appeared in the garden overnight.

I'd go and get a better close up but I seem to be having prolbems with my vision

Here are my light pics from last night
