I missed the earlier peak, but this was from our light polluted house in NW England.

Woohoo Mark,
Nice one matey.

Now I have the 2 Weather Cams mounted on my roof :
1 - The Original facing East by South over the Tasman Sea ( basically towards NZ from Beaumaris Tasmania ).
2 - The new one facing South from Beaumaris over Scamander township ( basically towards Antarctica ).
Note: Scamander causes some Light Pollution ( South ), though so does the Local Fishing boats out on the Eastern side (big spotlights on water) !

Note : Both are the same models:
4 K ColorVu ( Low-Light ) Fixed Bullet Network Camera by hikvision.com.
Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2-L 4K 8MP Gen2 ColorVu Bullet Camera with Acusense 60m White LED 2.8mm
High quality ( Low-Light ) imaging, 2.8 mm: horizontal FOV102°, vertical FOV 52°, diagonal FOV 124°

I have scripted both of them to fully auto capture images/time-lapse and upload to my weather site, we captured some fairly good footage early this morning and really happy with them.

Here in Tasmania, this mornings event occurred after around 03:00 AEDT Friday 11-Oct-2024 or ( 16:00 UTC Thursday 10-Oct-2024 ).

5 - East Camera page ( CMX/Mobile ) : https://beaumaris-weather.com/BWX/webcam.php

On the New Southern Camera, I capture images in 5 second intervals, so way to hard to pick a best of the night, so just picked a random one to show here. Oh and thanks to CMX our 1 minute updated local weather conditions are also over-layed on every image used in the time-lapse videos . Oh and when viewing the East by South Cam, you may see the Gum Tree in front of us light up ( that mostly happens during those hours, when my solar sensor lights at the front gate are set off by pesky rabbits trying to enter the property ).

Nice view Mark. Nothing visible in Tenerife as you’d expect. But at least I can sit outside in shorts and enjoy the sunshine without getting frostbite.

You got some great sequences there Tony

I was half an hour too late, and whilst cloudless the skies were still a bit hazy. But at least I saw something, and it was the first time my wife had ever seen the aurora!

My wife caught a glimpse of it last night here in Broadstairs, not often we see it this far south. By the time she called me it had faded but I have seen it here a while ago.

Here is my contribution to this one. The yellow part in the left upper space is a reflection of an LED from the webcam environment (Raspi).

Managed to get some images using iPhone despite some local light pollution.
