Looks like a full moon, now where'd I put that Wolf bane? ;) Seriously Celt, Nice pics, hopefully nothing badenov will come from this solar eruption... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Ok, anywhere it is dark is now just starting to get aurora. The CME (coronal mass ejection) has just hit the earth, and we are at storm level. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Planetary K-index Now: Kp= 5 storm 24-hr max: Kp= 5 storm |

Now, let's guess... Is it going to be a nice clear night, or will there be 10/10 cloud cover over the UK? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I'll keep popping out now and again to see if I can see it. Although I haven't seen any stars so I may be out of luck for this one. Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

Trouble is its a full moon, well up in the Eastern sky. Might just be a slight horizon glow in a place that's normally free from light pollution. I'll just have to keep looking. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

You just have to hope for a clear night. Two nights ago people were getting displays even with the moon up. This year I was able to get an image even with the moon very close to full. Feb' 14th, 2012 |

Too much light pollution and cloud last night - typical :-( Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Could hardly see the moon thanks to the clouds, and I didn't see any aurora. Nice pics Celt. In moonlight as well. Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

Too much light pollution and cloud last night - typical :-( We get that, but then I'm too far into the Deep South... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Any where you Have night, above 45’ north latitude, you got aurora. It is a good night to be in Australia and New Zealand. |

CME IMPACT: As expected, the flank of a CME hit Earth's magnetic field today, March 15th, around 1300 UT. The impact sparked a moderate (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm, in progress. Conditions are becoming favorable for high-latitude auroras. |
