2017_03_21_Aurora (ex-CH 797 HSS) 2

The Auroral stats had picked up as a high speed solar wind associated with a coronal hole (CH 797) turned to face the Earth. Unfortunately, a thick band of misty cloud stuck, quite resolutely, at about 15 degrees above the horizon, chopping off all the rays.

 

Looking over Lough Foyle towards Donegal.
