Why not... but will this be down to PM's? Is it tricky to start posting mobile numbers on this site publicly?

hi Ronan,

got a few snaps of the Thursday display with the digital camera but they were not bright enough to be well recorded so I haven't posted any picture up -- will bring the camera next weekend when we meet up. Mind you, I'm still trying to master the camera so I may have not set the right exposure details.

driving back from Armagh last night I saw a lovely bundle of anti-solar crepuscular rays tapering towards the south-EASTern horizon -- these are where the rays you see from the setting sun may be splayed right across the sky and converge on the anti-solar point (i.e. opposite point in the sky to the sun). A certain amount of haziness in the atmosphere enhances their visibility. The rays are parallel to each other but perspective makes them appear to come together again. It was hard keep a prolonged watch on them doing 70mph on the M1 :)

John
