Brilliant. After assuming it was going to be cloudy all night, I looked
out after midnight and it had cleared. Bands of green were stretching
right across from east to west. As I watched, intense reds developed,
and a corona (?). I've tried to capture the show as far as is possible

Excellent Anita. I'll have to change my film speed to 200 tonight, as
there may well be a repeat, going by the various monitoring websites.
