we are all curious...did the aurora come out for ya?

[Conor]

Sorry for that latre reply!!! Does this look like a happy face  Yea we seen the Aurora. It was mostly cloudy but the beams came right through the clouds. It was a display that wen from West to east! Although it did reach very high(approx 25-30deg) it was very intense down low. It looked like a line of cars over a hill shinning full beams in to the sky. I was abit disspointed as there was no real color to the arc jst the average green. Then the next night the charts were down and nothing big was to hit, but call it an astronomors wink, i had a wile feeling we were going to see something so me and my observing went out to meet and the moon was practially full there was a faint big band covering the whole nort, west and east. It was faint but not faint enough to walk past, but invisible to the untrained eye. We reported it to our friend David Moore of astronomy Ireland and it turns out that there was only one other person to see the Aurora that night! Oh and shortly i will be running a live sky camera!
