It was a bit of a battle with cloud this evening at my location, but the following images captured between 23:00 and 23:30 show what I managed to see in between the clouds. By 23:30 it had clouded over almost completely, just revealing tiny areas of green aurora glow in the gaps. Imag

There was some fairly bright aurora along the northern horizon this evening. However, it was heavy cloud and rain in my location north of Reykjavik, and I didn’t expect to see any clear sky. I was lucky though – I looked outside at 23:00 and there was a patch of clear sky

The magnetometers did not show much activity tonight, but nevertheless I was able to see aurora for the entire time that I was out from 23:54 to 01:35 UTC. It was mostly difficult to see with the naked eye due to the ongoing combined challenges of twilight and full moon, but the camer

There was some very strong geomagnetic storming from the 25th to the 27th August, but sadly my location in south-west Iceland was completely overcast with cloud for the entire period. The cloud finally parted on the evening of the 28th, and I was able to go out and see some weak auror

This was the third night of aurora in succession. The evening was rather windy, and as a result the trees and flowers in the images appear a little bit blurred due to their movement. Although I could not detect it by eye (the sky was still very bright to the north in the twilight), th

There was a weak aurora visible as soon as it became dark enough this evening, but it was difficult to see through the twilight. At 00:31 a tall ray was briefly visible over the mountain in the north-east (Image 1), with a weaker band of green visible higher in the sky through the clo

The 2018/19 aurora season began for me on the evening of the 15th August, with a very bright aurora to the eye when I left home at 23:44 UTC. As the sky was still very light in the twilight then I hadn’t expected to see any aurora until later in the night, and this was a pleasan

There was some moderate activity to around 35 degree in the north at 22:00 UTC when I checked outside, but by the time I reached my viewing location for the evening then the activity was very low on the horizon and much weaker. There was also a full moon, which combined with the snowf

This was an unexpectedly great night of aurora-watching – unexpected because we were not really expecting a huge amount of activity this evening, but an increased solar wind, negative Bz and favourable interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) combined to give a great show. And for on

There was a nice arc in the northern sky this evening, visible from my location from at least 22:21 UTC. The bulk of the activity was far north of Iceland and consequently low on the horizon, and the beautiful mountains blocked my view of the best of it. A lovely still night to be out
