Anybody seen STEVE

Postby g-one » Mon Mar 19, 2018 6:52 pm

I'm keeping my eye out but no sightings here yet. I saw today there were some STEVE sightings from Scotland, also of the regular northern lights. Not sure if the northern lights are routine to see in Scotland.

Overcast here last night, but many of my friends from further north, further east and further west took some amazing photos.
A-nis bidh fios aig daoine nuair a tha mi a 'mionnachadh aig dhaibh.

Very rare this far south but more common up Lianachan's way.

STEVE is the streak from the Pleiades in this photo from an acquaintance in Orkney.

It was quite a bright display the other night! This is also from Orkney.

ETA - they are a fairly regular occurrence here. I have seen them many, many times. Not as often as I used to when I lived 100 or so miles further north, but still.

Ah, cool - worth checking when there's activity.
