A large coronal mass ejection associated with a X7-class solar
flare early on the 20th Jan led to this aurora on the evening of the
21st. This event was visible over much of northern England dispite the
bright moon.
Apart from the first one, these images have been gamma corrected. It's
such along time since we had the last visible aurora I had forgotten
the best camera settings... B-(
Looking north west.

Looking north east. Moonlight illuminates the tree.
