There was some talk on the radio this morning of a good auroral display being seen from parts of the UK last night, but mostly from further north. Anyone see anything from down here?

I saw some orange 'aurora' reflecting off cloud above Orpington.

There's also the London blue-white glow. Or is it the Bromley blue-white glow? Either way, it usually completely stuffs any chance of seeing a faint aurora from here... :evil:
