Good Morning Good Night and General Chat.

Good evening. 
Last night, around 10pm, the Northern Lights were visible from near our location. The photo was taken by someone in the nearby town. I’d been outside looking at the night sky earlier but missed the spectacle. It’s something I’ve wanted to see since I visited Norway as a youth. 
 

Tonight I shall be staying up, standing at the top of the paddock looking north, camera in hand, hoping to see it. 
 

Wish me luck.

That's something I've always wanted to see. We had some bozo with a green laser in the woods last week, but it wasn't the same.

Got a phone? Then get the AuroraWatchUK app.

Last night at about 10 it put out an alert saying aurora should be visible over the whole UK. Rushed the window. Raining and cloudy. Two hours later the stars came out, but the aurora had already stopped.

Last night was supposed to be particularly good one.

We've got what looks like the glow from a setting moon to the west which given today is a new moon I am assuming is a rather weak aurora. Hoping it gets better later.

I have the app.

 

The sky is clear with little or no light pollution here, the stars are bright but no sign of the Aurora, and my camera isn’t up to the task of capturing it anyway.

Good morning it is frosty here this morning

[S-Westerly]

Well if the glow we saw was an aurora it didn't get any better. Very disappointing. 

[bonio]

Last night was a no-show for any aurora

[Tiggie]

I am still learning although I don't have as much time as I would like to spend on it, but I have always fished since I was a nipper, can't beat being outside in the fresh air to help clear the mind

Sea fishing I gather? I used to love sea fishing round N Wales. I just don't get the time these days. Night fishing was always my favourite. Not that I was particularly good at it. I think I only caught the ones who had a death wish.

Fly fishing for sea trout at night - most fun you can have standing up.

Good Morning
