Last night Aurora was spotted over the UK and 2 CMHASD members managed to image it through the clouds.
Apparently the CME, X1.9 ‘Halo’ solar flare that sparked this aurora took only 25 hours to reach Earth! Usually CME’S take 3 to 4 days!
The 1st image on the right was taken by member Honor Wheeler from Dartford using a Canon M6II, Rokinon 12mm lens, set at ISO800, f8, and 6sec.
Honor said ‘The aurora was difficult to see visually but my camera picked it up. A lot of light pollution reflecting off the clouds also didn’t help but any aurora seen from home is a nice, unexpected bonus.’
Member Martin Crow from Burnham – on – Crouch, Essex managed to capture some images of the Aurora through gaps in the cloud on his iPhone. On the right are 2 of his images.
