Alerts! Questions? Discussions... / Possible Aurora tonight (17th ...

Last post by Rick - Apr 17, 2025, 11:48:49

Last night there was a brief auroral storm around 2100 to 2200 UTC, with reports of aurora as far south as Hamburg, and my meteor camera caught some brief glimpses of activity. Solar activity's predicted to peak at a somewhat higher level tonight, so there's a possibility that aurora may be seen further south than usual again. Hope the sky's clear.

Thank you both!  Lucky catch with the plane.  And that tree is my neighbour's and although it blocks the north west sky for me, in a way is a blessing in disguise as London is there so it does help act as an LP filter!

I don;t normally go for small galaxies, but this is a very nice chain of them.  You have done well from Bromley John. 

TBH tiny galaxies are not really my cup of tea either but I was looking for something that would work for my 'scope!
