taxi4ballet Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 We had a fantastic view last night, but my photos don't do it justice I'm afraid. Very grainy and blurred - I am clearly no photographer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trog Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Aurora Australis is visible too. Even living in the suburbs, with all that light pollution, it has been visible. I'm hoping go go somewhere dark tonight on the coast for a better view. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I went out down the field Friday evening to have a look because my daughter said she'd seen some photos on our local facebook page, and I stared northwards for a few minutes and saw nothing. Then ten minutes later I got a phone call from dd again saying "Go outside and look!!!" so I went out into the garden, phone in hand, looking northwards again. "No," she said, "look up!!". Light pollution and all, there it was. The sky was pink and mauve and green, a great long stripe from west to east, and right overhead. Incredible. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I was about to go to bed just now and I thought I'd pop outside just in case... No aurora, but there was the International Space Station instead! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 If it had been as bright as it was here, you'd have been hard pushed to miss it, to be honest! The thing is very fickle though. We got a much better view here than my friends did, who live 30 miles north of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
