About this image

Hello all,
There was a small auroral display seen here at Tarbatness last night 20220203_04. First seen as a bright arc to about 15 degrees altitude above some dark horizon cloud on the northern horizon at aound 00:15 UT. This arc rose another 5 degrees or so and became brighter it was diffuse and bordered by a fainter upper arc. Along this arc some banding and short rays were seen. There were frequent light snow showers occuring and a heavier snow shower obscuring the view at around 01:30 UT when imaging ceased.
