Sugarloaf tonight 10 May 2024?

Hello everyone,

The forecast for tonight looks great. Is anyone interested in heading out to observe tonight?

Clear skies,

Darren.

And there is a massive Aurora alert happening too, Darren, wherever you end up!

Clear skies from Aubrey.

Very many thanks for the update Aubrey...sounds like it could be a great night!

Clear skies,
Darren.

Hello everyone.
My wife Valerie and I have just seen a most spectacular Aurora from our back garden. We live under Bortle 8 skies. But we had no problems seeing the Aurora.
It is my wife's very first Aurora.
And it was my 4th.
We are both rejoicing greatly.
I was looking for Polaris first when I saw a long green hue over the apex of our house in the north eastern sky. Then I saw the powerful pink and a good red section immediately.
Greens and blues hues were moving over to our neighbour's house in the southeast,
But all these amazing colours stretched over to the southern sky.

I hope others saw this Aurora. I am going to remember this one for a very long time.

Clear skies from Aubrey.

I should have said that the very bright star Arcturus was just south of the Aurora. But Izar was "buried" in the Aurora.

Very best regards from Aubrey.

This is too much   The Limerick skies are a blanket of light -
