I managed to watch a Beautiful crimson red aurora at my Zenith last night
(roughly 9:30pm). White rays extended and roamed from the red area
southwards into the green bands which were not much above the southern
horizon. I missed all the action on Wednesday night and it's hard to
believe it was even more spectacular!
Easily the best display I've ever witnessed - and I've seen a few in my
time.

The aurora started tonight at 1720z before it even got dark. Activity
was due north and consisted of a bright red curtain with rapidly moving
red rays ascending from it. Not sure whether this is the residue from
yesterday or the precursor of the next storm. The next few hours will
tell the story and maybe the unfortunates from last night will get a
viewing tonight. Broken cloud and a light NE wind.
