Tyneside is great location to observe from and is convenient for everyone. Thanks for the report Steve.

Even if it didn't show up visually through the light pollution of the city, it certainly shows nicely in your photo, even sporting a clearly visible tail! Well done!

I tried to spot it one it night in my scope and thru a larger scope another night without luck. Later found out that no scar appeared this time - probably accounts for why we didn't see anything.

It was a lot of fun and we had a great turn out. We've been lucky that the weather has cooperated for us each time we've gone to this location and get good crowds. Nice bonus with the lights being off for Earth Hour.

Here are their observations of the aurora: Date: 24 Oct 2011 Time: Approx. 2130-2300 Location: HAA Binbrook Site 2 (Tyneside Road) 43.114755, -79.879906 Weather: Clear Temp: Approx 8C dropping Humidity: Moon: None Darkness: Good, light pollution to north Seeing: V. Good (4/5) Observation #: 1 Time: Approx. 2130 Object: Aurora Borealis Instrument: None Position: Entire northern sky First visible as we drove to site. Shimmering curtain-like aurora visible across entire northern sky, especially western half, above light-pollution to at least 60 degrees declination. Colour lightening from bright green (lower) through white (higher). Visible for about 15 minutes. Suzanne's notes: "Late in the evening, between 9:00 and 10:00, Keith and I drove along Tyneside Road. I just happened to look up to my right and saw the most amazing lights: like drapes – green on top and red on bottom – they seemed to cover the sky no matter where I looked."
