About this image

A Crayford Astronomical Society member posted on our WhatsApp group that he could see the aurora from his home North of Dartford but Thursday is our Society meeting night. When the meeting closed members rushed to get to a local vantage point to enjoy the spectacular auroral display for the next 5 hours! This was my first image of that great display.
