Hi all,
A CME impacted Earth's magnetosphere on August 15th at approximately 08:00 UT creating a G3 geomagnetic storm, which persisted over the weekend as Earth travelled through its wake producing beautiful aurora.
The geomagnetic disturbances were detected on my magnetometer, as shown below.
Thanks for looking.
Stu.

Fantastic!! I got all the alerts but the major storms seemed to be throughout the day time (good in Australia I suppose). I couldn't see anything Saturday night even though it was clear.
