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.Denis Buczynski An image is attached taken at 22:50UTps aAlso imaged 5 comets, 3 Supernovae, and one NEO tonight, and seen some Draconids!

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.Denis

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 :-(Callum
