I've put the overnight timelapse videos my two (monochrome) meteor cameras and my (colour, but rather jumpy) sky camera caught last night up onto YouTube.

Very nice Rick. I also did one. I will upload it shortly.

Thanks for posting rick, shame there were so many clouds, so difficult to see the aurora in the mono videos. 
I'll probably post up some screen shots of the colour version at the peaks as it's a bit long and loads of aurora pictures to show.

Here's a meteor orbit solution from one of the meteors caught by both my cameras that night:

If you have a look at the various images from cameras around the UK that recorded the meteor, you'll notice they pretty much all also show some auroral rays...

Here's another that one of my cameras caught:

there's a big one on 00.24.01, is that what you mean?

Most of the whispyness in the images in both those orbit solution pages is aurora rather than clouds.
