About this image

Taken in the early hours of 24th when the aurora readings were off the scale for the UK. I was at the same time watching a lively display via my computer courtesy of Cliff Cam 3 in Scotland. I've never had as much as a sniff of an aurora before from our very urban setting so I pointed North and ran off several iPhone images hand held in succession. I then stacked them together. it may be my imagination but there is a hint of green low down and a hint of red above it -or is there???
