	Sky was quite a pretty orange colour last night - light pollution reflecting off low clouds :-( ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

	Well we might have warmer weather, but I would trade a cold evening or two for a sight like that. Great Pictures Celt Tooth.

	Very nice pics, looks like it was a great show. ____________ In an alternate universe, it was a ZX81 that asked for clothes, boots and motorcycle. Beer/wine o'clock, the best of the o'clocks. Humpty dumpty sat on a wall, along came a giant, and cooked him for breakfast.

	If it is dark in the north of the UK right now, you are in for a real good show. I can only hope for a display here tonight. ____________

	I couldn’t get any Aurora last night but I did get the Moon, Spica, and Saturn all in the same frame. You can see it here: http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-Moon-Sp-Sat_1329050494.jpg ____________

	We had a cloudy night, but I did get to see the three from time to time. Looked like a dragon's eye peaking at me then disappearing till later. Great image Celt.

	I woke up from a fever at 02:00 not expecting to see any aurora, but lucky for me they were up there. So much for the predictions that Space.com puts out for aurora. I am having trouble finding a place in Edmonton that can even order what I want. I’ll keep looking for another week, and then if I don’t find any thing I’ll try some other plan. http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-aura1_1329125336.jpg Edit: Wow, things have just picked up big time.

	http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-a1_1329281813.jpg I just had to get up to take these images when Marie told me about the sky. Good night in England for Aurora before the sun comes up. ____________

	That flare was so bright it was messing with the camera. You can see that after the flare it looks like a tidal wave running from upper left to lower right of the sun. This one is big! ____________
