Bright (3) glowing blue veil 10 degrees high and 80 degrees long from N to NE.

Sky was in excellent condition at this time. Different story before dawn though.

My 'policy' for this years NLC season is to grab a pic whenever it is clear... I wonder how long it will be till we get a brightness 4 display???

The skies are pretty good here, I'm fortunate that the NLC prone areas are opposite the town and away from lights. I was clouded out last night. I'm expecting good displays come June.

There's clear air moving down from the north over England tonight, the mrs is away so I think I might set me an alarm for an hour or so before sunrise and see whats about.
