Aurora from Norfolk

Within minutes of an update from Aurorawatch UK, the camera and tripod were in the car and I was on the road. Well for about 3 minutes anyway arriving at my location of choice just a quarter of a mile from home looking out over fields to a reasonably dark north facing sky. I could not see anything visually as I set up the equipment but I could see the clouds coming. My first image captured was a highlight to what would come through over the next few minutes. Wonderful to see and just the second imaging capture from Norfolk in my 21 years living here. 



As soon as it came it went and disappeared quite quickly.



The last time was 27th Feb 2014 which for an hour put on a much better show.


See what I mean. Anyway looking forward to the next x class flare.
