Aurora
« on: September 10, 2011, 07:47:04 am »
Did anyone manage to see Aurora last night?  There's supposedly a magnetic storm in progress and solar activity is very high - the Aurora website http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/4 reckons the lights would be visible on the northern horizon from Edinburgh upwards.

I was late back last night so unfortunately didn't get the alert in time to tell you all before bedtime.  We had cloud cover here; the glow behind it was slightly greeny then later slightly bluey but really that could have been nothing.  I shall keep trying...

It's chucking down here near Edinburgh and looks like it's on for the day and more, so I doubt we'll see anything.  I did know about it and was going to0 watch - I never seem to eb able to see these things.  Only once seen the A. borealis when I lived in Ellon on top of a hill.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
