Excellent view, Nick. Thanks for posting. Location is Richmond, N
Yorks. I've not seen an aurora with such a deep red colour before.

Cheers,

Hi Nick, all,

We've just come inside at about 5 to 8 after seeing the best show we've ever
had here 10 miles SSW of York.

It started at about 7:10pm with a bright green arc at about 10 degrees
spanning the Northern sky, and deep reds above the arch up to 40 plus
degrees.  From time to time the reds developed rays and brighter patches.
The green arch gradually rose higher over the next 10 minutes until it was
at about 25 degrees and the reds were still above it and much deeper.

Then all hell broke loose :-).  Red and green rays and patches forming,
growing, brightening, and fading within 30 or 60 seconds, the Green arcs
came up to Polaris and split and moved as we watched.  Lumps appeared in the
east and grew in long lines to the west.  At one point we had a double arch
and lots of red rays.  This high activity level continued for about 10
minutes.

It was fantastic . . . can you tell I was impressed :-).

The whole family were out in the garden sitting on the trampoline wrapped in
sleeping bags and blankets.

The main activity seemed to drift off to the West and after 10 minutes of
not much happening I came inside to check the net.  I'll be out every 10
minutes of the rest of the night.  Lovely clear night, and even the bright
Moon didn't seem to hamper the observing.

TTFN

Glasgow - was the same as most other places, arcs with red above and 
then spots all over the sky.  It is now a green arc extending right 
across the north.

Just been up on t'moors west of Ripon, N Yorks.
Nothing a spectacular as Paul reports (missed it), be a steady green arc 
in the north horizon. Briefly developed a green curtain for a while.

Could just see it 20mins ago from a relatively dark place in Cambridge.
Strong moonlight getting in the way quite a bit.

Many thanks for the early warning!  But I'd been looking out at
overcast all evening and was just off to bed when the cat wanted to go
out.

>From the door, the northern sky looked strangely misty with pale green
uplighting. I thought at first that it was just more cloud. But then I
noticed stars were visible through the "mist"! Luckily I'm not troubled
by light pollution here.

I must have missed the earlier highlights but was treated to a wide
pale green illuminated arc across the low northern sky, perhaps up to
25 degrees at the high point slightly west of north. The upper edge
seemed more intense than the body of the arc giving a fuzzy rainbow
effect.
Occasional soft pillars of the same pale light extended well up to
Cassiopeia and the Pole Star. Though they were short lived.
Then suddenly the west turned blood red and stayed that way for some
minutes before fading. At 11.45 CET the arc was sinking and fading
rapidly and I retreated to the warmth of my bed.
Brilliant moonlight had made it easy to move around on the frosted
field outside the garden to get a better view above the local trees.
Though the moonlight must have reduced contrast.
I wish it had been clear earlier.

Getting nothing on the Interositer in the near of Glasgow........

Any chance of a layman's guide to what we're looking at on this one?
