good view of auroral display from Huddersfield last night.
Started off at around 9.45pm with a curtain of greenish glow
rising up from the northern horizon (above the sky glow
from Huddersfield).
Over a period of about 30+minutes it developed (at least) two light
pillars and was topped off by a rim of pink/orange glow.

Only just back from hols. Just before 10pm on Friday 21st we spotted
very bright green curtains from Marchmont in Edinburgh, visible through
streetlights and the wash from a nearly full Moon. Certainly the
brightest I've ever seen it from here. We headed for the Meadows and
spotted a partial corona overhead and some white pillars from there to
the north. The north sky not covered by green curtains had a strong
green tint. To the east and west, as well as near the Moon which was
20 degrees south of overhead, there was a red wash effect, the first
time I've ever seen reds from Edinburgh. Over the next half hour it
faded away completely and looking out occasionally until about 4am I
didn't see any other activity.
