Plot below is either the latest live plot for the current night or the final plot from last night (depending on the current time)
 - plot is only updated between sunset and sunrise   (see Prior North Sky Summary Plot )
 - live plots may be up to 15 mins old depending on the time of the last automatic upload to website

Magnetometer Stack Plots from Scandinavia (ordered by latitude)
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
Data from Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Tromsø Geophysical Observatory (TGO) &  DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark)
(Data site : Tromsø Geophysical Observatory - Geomagnetic Data,  See Map of Geomagnetic Stations )

SAMNET's magnetometer at Crooktree, Near Torphins (Chart Explanation)

Estimated 3 hour Planetary K-Index (NOAA) (K indices of 5 or greater indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity around earth)

Previous planetary-k-index.gif picture is no longer available due to changes in how NOAA now present the graphic data. Graph has to be accessed through web app at https://swpc-drupal.woc.noaa.gov/products/planetary-k-index. Alternative picture is Station K Index file (from https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/station-k-index.png )

Picture with last 7 days data including the Lerwick site (https://geomag.bgs.ac.uk/images/kandkp_bar.jpg) from BGS's UK Current Geomagnetic activity website (https://geomag.bgs.ac.uk/education/current_activity.html)

Picture below is the north sky summary plot from the night before last.
 - The plot is replaced each day around sunset  as a new night plot is started.  (see Latest North Sky Summary Plot )
