Hi all,
Fast flowing solar wind with a southerly magnetic orientation created beautiful aurora last night and produced a strong response on my magnetometer.
Some in the UK managed to capture some lovely images, but alas nothing could be seen from my location

Re: Geomagnetic Storm Kp7
I am not surprised you picked it up I got lots of alerts around 8pm, but we had a lot of low cloud around the horizon line above Manchester giving a super orange glow that drowned anything else out. I couldn't convince the hubby to go the hills either

Re: Geomagnetic Storm Kp7
Good data! I was looking last night, alas where I am was light pollution galore.
You should use it as an excuse to go up to the Cat and Fiddle Alexandra, I reckon there would be a decent chance from the car park up there, and a rewarding beer may just swing the vote in future

That is a very good idea, I did mention it the other night but I just got a grunt the trouble is he has to be well oiled with wine first before I ask for things

Beer and Aurora.......sounds an ideal combination.
