For the first time in a while the sky was completely clear last night: this coincided with predictions of a significant auroral display, so I drove up to the top of the Heath to try for some photos. In the event I arrived after the peak, but even with the naked eye there was a definite tinge to the north: sometimes green, sometimes reddish.
With such a clear sky, I took the opportunity to look for comet Pons-Brooks: despite the full Moon I could just pick it out and managed a couple of photos. Mercury was a lot easier, twinkling brightly above the western horizon.
