About this image

Was stuck at work from 9pm until 1am and missed the main event aurora but afterward got up to Salisbury Plain to be greeted with a lovely sky which quickly gave way to fog and a wet camera/lens. But there was still a little aurora hanging on.

It was lovely to see - even if I did have to put the camera in the airing cupboard when I got home.
