Auroral glimpses from Berkshire

About this image

On both nights of the aurora we had persistent clouds and rain in our part of urban Berkshire. On the 20th it was continual heavy rain until shortly before midnight when we had a brief interlude and I was able to catch my only glimpses of the aurora before the clouds returned until clearing later once the aurora was no longer visible in our area.

This mosaic only covers three minutes and was my only sight of the aurora on either night.
