From my front garden, 15 minutes ago (7.15pm).

That's impressive, because you must be further South than we are North.

Didn't know anything about this .
I'll have a look out tonight and see if we're lucky .
What sort of time is it happening?

I'll message you when I'm going to bed, it'll be about 5 minutes after that pal.

It seemed a bit pinkish at about half past two

What about the aurora?

Why am I not surprised. Actually I was because I had asparagus for tea.

Let me know as well then I can waste my night looking at streetlights and floodlights.

I am just a few miles to the South of Nottingham so I do not expect to see anything because of the glow from the city unless the grid crashes.

Don't bother .
Just checked outside and I can barely see the moon it's that overcast.
So instead of driving somewhere darker , I've just poured a whiskey !

Nothing here in London

[gray1720]

Judging by the news pages this morning, the high haze hid it last night.

[andytake2]

DIdn't know about the first one happening, and didn't see anythign last night.
Mind you, light pollution here means there could have been an alien invasion and I wouldn't see it

[Kath]

I think we did get it here again last night because the seafront was full of people holding their phones up to the sky at around 11pm. I'm afraid I just went to bed.

[MJB]

I have a friend who lives out on Dartmoor. He posted a photo on Facebook of all the car headlights producing light pollution.

[neilt3]

It was still too overcast to see anything by 2am last night , so I gave up and went to bed .
Maybe tonight ...
