with a bit of luck tonights aim will be out by 9pm, they do seem early on mon and tues

 

well that plan was thwarted...

[mushymanrob]

no sign on any webcam yet, but there is a lot of cloud across europe.

[Arnie Pie]

early days yet Rob...some stubborn local cloud needs to disappear first

[mushymanrob]

doesnt look too clever tbh, there might be some but theres not a lot to see....unless they have developed in the last two days.

i stopped out until 11.30 but couldnt pick up any signs, plus there was a band of cloud on the horizon so couldnt see any low level shows..

First clear skies in about a week over here but a no show. Stayed out until 11.30 and then set alarms for 01:30 and 02:30...nowt.

Forecast looks clear again for tonight though.

yes...it was a bit frustrating last night. the clear night forecast never really materialized. We started to see Capella around 00.30 with the skies below obscured by local haze which remained for rest of the morning...the clarity was just not there imby

NCL`s were visible from near European countries Edit;  and Norfolk

As for tonight ( If `clear`) and working on 3 days(ish) migrations brings us to an area on the 20th AIM which is interesting.....lots of flotsam

Still relatively low Solar activity although slightly increased than last week

Awaiting tonight`s AIM release

I fear the cloud in the Northwest will spoil any chances tonight as it tracks Southeastwards, its already here in Derby, although it might break up..

[Arnie Pie]

Unfortunately it`s looking that way Rob....a better chance for our Southern friends

[mushymanrob]

i guess if there was a bright. high display we might catch a few glimpses, lol.. my brightest (and it was very bright) display last july was hidden behind a lot of cloud so i only caught glimpses of it..

[mushymanrob]

Frustratingly, i can see clear blue sky to my East/Southeast... whilst above and to the North and West its overcast... im writing today off..

[Arnie Pie]

New Aim out

A couple of transit days would put us back in a in a flotsam area

if you take the fact that the image over the UK was taken in the morning and add another 12 hrs transit time it would bring us into the top tentacle of the AIM

shame about the weather

NLC`s showing in Russia 7 hrs to our East

[Jamie M]

Here in Margate

[DanN]

Showing to my north west now, very high and widespread.

[Zak M]

Good heavens. Awesome NLC show here. They are pretty much overhead.

[Jamie M]

Really has gone pop. I'll have to get DSLR shots when home.

[ChannelThunder]

Sky is absolutely full of them even down here on the south coast, never seen anything like it.

Pleased for you... we are stuck under bloody cloud GRRRRRR

Pics?

 

[Jamie M]

18 - 55 mm

Thought I'd try out my Tamron 70 - 300 mm lenses on these NLC structures. Quality's certainly not as good as my 18 - 55 but shows some amazing structure.

70 - 300 mm

First time I have ever seen NLC's from my back garden..
