Nothing on AuroraWatch yet though.


Looks as if something has just (around 1700 UTC) hit.

Tomorrow night's forecast at XCWeather is 0% cloud for me. Yippee!


Unless it's a pretty strong aurora the sky doesn't get dark enough at
this time of year. Even so the 8/8ths doesn't help. B-(

Must check I've got enough film,


Film? Digits, doesn't cost anything per exposure...
