This was between 02:45 and 03:30hrs this morning. Very bright, high elevation with lots of contrasting filaments covering an extraordinarily large amount of sky. I reckon any member of the public who saw it and not know what it was would have been royally perplexed...

We were keeping an eye out on this end but got clouded over at about 11.

Saw them from Shannon,
low down but bright.
Lets hope for a few more big displays before
the seasons end.
