Aurora...
An 8.30pm alert from the ever vigilant Gary Woodburn that the Northern Lights were on show sent us scurrying off to the Howick coast road. The sky had a light greenish eerie glow at first then smudges and very faint streaks began to emerge. At first you wonder if its just your eyes seeing things, but by 8.45pm it was quite glowing like shards stretching high up into the darker night sky. At the top in the starry darkness was a red glow and as it stretched down wards this turned green. No full on arctic shimmering but still a nice display for us southeners....

Saw your tweet Stewart so went to St Marys around 9.30pm where we had a good show with ruby red directly above. Thanks
Great stuff Stewart! It's something I would love to witness!
Beautiful Stewart - one of those sights I would so much like to see! I wasn't on the internet Thursday evening so only found out they were visible throughout a lot of England. yesterday :(
