The Aurora Dance of the Green & Red
Tonight's Aurora display was definitely the best naked eye display I've ever seen. With just the camera phone to capture the event, here are a couple of pictures. The phone captured the red glow beautifully. Though the naked eye didn't pick out the red that well. By eye alone the green colouring was very prominent, ribbons of long stretched out cloud one second, then tufts of singular green cloud the next, totally mesmerising! That dance of the green aurora continued for over an hour. At one point a streak of billowing green appeared and slowly weaved its way past Orion and upwards towards The Pleiades. Later on our son turned up to visit us, which made the evening all the more memorable. It was a magical evening, never to be forgotten. Newgale Aurora : photo Jac Lee.
