It looks to have been a very fleeting event. Just a faint reddish curtain low on the southern horizon, exactly like last week, but it's already fading out. Hopefully it will return.

It's really going off now! Great to see, but I hope I'm not the only one seeing it!

Thanks Davo (DavidU) for the phone call mate
Sorry, as Cheryl said on the phone, I was driving at the time.

Home now and keeping an eye on the south. The Helios is looking good right now

and my sky is clear

Get those cameras clicking! You never know what you might catch. Start doing long exposures right now and keep going.
