Northern Lights

[kas]

I was walking the dog at 8 o'clock and saw what appeared to be a green beam in the sky, it disappeared after 30 seconds and I though it must have been a trick of the light, due to the strong moonlight. I then came home to find an email from Aviemore saying they had had a showing there at 8 o'clock, and it was in the forms of green vertical beams.

So keep your eyes peeled. It was by no means the greatest showing, but there could be more.

My son has just arrived home from Scouts in Castletown, and they were outside looking at the moon when they saw green in the sky too.

my friend and i were walking my dog just before 8 this evening and were watching the lights they were really pretty and changed so quick we saw the beam and there were streaks of green all over the place then we walked to the nearest village and they were even brighter, unfortunatly the moon was quite bright so it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was nice to see

I've seen the northern lights as well tonight, I might try later for a better show. No light pollution in Reay so they might really stand out.

Light pollution is stopping me from getting a good view, if the kids were not in bed I would be off out to the country in the car. I saw them again from the garden about 15 minuites ago. The moon is very bright too.
