When conditions are right we get a much milder Aurora from this latitude. Unfortunately ... it's raining here!

Thanks for the link Phil. Great view!

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.

Unfortunately the Moon is causing a bit of a washout, but the Aurora Borealis is strong and very visible.

Here and here.
