Wonderful auroral display tonight from Portmahomack in the Sottish Highlands. We have seen nearly all aspects of the aurora tonight,arcs,bands,rays, curtains, glows, pulses, green patches as high as 50+ degrees reaching into the milky way. A magnificent natural spectacle. How lucky we are.

You have been busy Denis.

I have just opened my e-mail folder, to find I had an alert from Aurora Watch UK.

I wonder how wide spread this display was?

Hi Paul,
The displa y started around 22:00UT and was still active with rays at 04:00UT. I have seen some phenomena in this display which I have not seen before even though I have been lucky to see many. The heights which some of the arcs and rays reached must have meant that it could have been seen further south. I tried to laod an image from last night onto this forum but without sucess, I will try again with this.

Yes, the blogosphere has been very active with reports.

The furthest south I have seen a picture of has been Yorkshire Dales, but it would potentially have been seen further south, i think, had there been a clear northern horizon.

It was 10/10 cloud here in Tewkesbury :-(

I notice that there have been reports this morning on BCC News of the display so it must have been widely seen and photographed.
I will try to post an image at the requested size and see if that works.
