Aurora	Notes
Pictures Videos Summary Plot Magnetometer Stack Plots (for reference) Planetary K-Index Plot (for reference) Aurora Forecast, NOAA/Ovation (for reference)	- Aurora display (KP6 event), unfortunately largely hidden by cloud & rain during peak activity (c. 23:20h UT).  Aurora visible intermittently between 19:06 and 04:02 hUT.  Strong activity noted at 22:26h UT. Rain Shower at 19:30-20:00h UT, whose raindrops affect image quality in middle part of night.

Magnetometer Stack Plots (for reference)

Magnetometer Stack Plots from Scandinavia (ordered by latitude) H Component - 2017-11-07 / 2017-11-08 Original data from Tromsø Geophysical Observatory (TGO), DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark) and Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI, displayed on SpaceWeatherLive http://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/auroral-activity/magnetometers). Note: Geomagnetometer activity at rvk (Rorvik, 64.95N), dob (Dombas, 62.07N), sol (Solund, 61.08N) and kar (Karmoy, 59.21N) stations are used as indicators for potential auroral activity that may be visible from my Observatory situated at latitude 57.32N  (Map of Stations)
