A lively few days sparked beautiful aurora as a result of fast flowing solar wind emanating from a large coronal hole.
My magnetometer data show the passage of geo-effective episodes as Earth moved through the wake, recording the transition into and through the solar wind stream.
Thanks for looking.

Nice record Stu! It was sunny here on thursday (when I was at work), now the weekend is back to the blanket grey skies. A weekend doing jobs on the boat me thinks...

I know what you mean, Mark. The odd few days of sunshine we've had have fallen mid-week, so no chance of imaging without taking a holiday.
Hope the boat is coming along okay.
