Strong aurora activity at both poles🌌🌍 .
At the same time, major radio propagation disruption with this magnetic storm with coefficient A=73 and K=7⚡

One final one for the night as I make my way through tonight's haul
This is from when a cluster of beams suddenly appeared to the west/south-west, dancing + changing *very* rapidly.
Here's one of the more stunning snaps from that set. (Over the coming days, I'll try to put together a timelapse video of these, though I'll have to try to normalise the expose across all of them + stabilise, as it's really cool to see)
Anyway, I really should get to bed now🙈

This was about 2 minutes earlier. That bright beam is an example of something that would be *very* visible by naked eye

Just came back inside, as the battery I had had just died. Otherwise, would still be outside watching the show fade...
But yeah, that was quite an epic show, especially when it really picked up!
Green/yellow murmuring clouds low down, purple glow, then bright bluish beams (+ a few reddish ones too). And they moved fast too!
Glad I got some nice sequences too, but dunno how well all this will look back on screen on a computer.
(Will head out again later after a shower + warmer clothes)
