Frustration reigns just
now. I think madness lies just below the surface. There have been
four nights of aurora in a row. Tonights show if its up there is
somewhere above the sea of rainy cloud the stretches from horizon to
horizon, even the horizons are close together. This seemingly
constant aurora is coming not from snapping filaments or flares but
rather an increased flow of solar wind from an earth facing coronal
hole. Its passing now but today I was reading there’s another
facing us for three days. Which a bit of luck there will be more fun
for the start of the week. The good night for us was Tuesday. But
since then its been all cloud and rain.. Last night had lights being
photographed way down over the border at Hadrians wall and over on
the east coast. Lots of folks got to see some lights even with almost
universal scabby skies. Photos and reports from the far north have
been full of exciting talk and stunning photos, its heady stuff
!!Here the clouds parted at five this morning to reveal some lights
but I must say it wasnt me that saw them this morning. I was out
fifteen minutes ago for a look and got rained on for my troubles, A
quick jump out again as a break from typing right now.......the
frustration continues.. I am lucky tho the season just starts
although the equinox is prime time in it. There are months of
darkness to go and many more nights to come. So maybe this is the
blog kicking back in to life........bloody hell I just went out to
take a photo of the rainy cloud and light pollution and there is a
green swathe of lights beneath a horizon gap. The gap does not get
very far north but its green way down to the east....once again the
game is afoot, and the wifes about to groan im sure......
