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.

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.
