Thinking of driving over to Macclesfield forest where there's little light pollution, but, too much cloud atm.

My brother in Newtown reports a faint glow, with slight banding just discernible to the naked eye. I may get a photo from him to share here tomorrow.

Seeing lots of photos from Mull, which is great as I’m in Aus!

I’m nights but in the control room tonight so that’s me having no chance. Seen some cracking photos appearing from those doing the NC500.

The advice is 'a chance of seeing it tonight', also the skies will hopefully be clear.

It was excellent over Angus at about 0300, covering half of the sky, great big vertical beams of green, wavy curtains lower down, swathes of purple and red laid across. Not as good as the last one, but still one of the best I've seen.

As promised, he took this about midnight last night from a hill a mile or so just north of Newtown (the mid Wales one) and then went to bed, thereby missing the 3am show.

Aurora from Powys, 23rd April 2023
On a 4-sec exposure, apparently
