Interesting, possible early NLCs...

How it all began, this was the crazy scene in the western sky in twilight with a huge E-W formation of fine linear structure like a huge celestial feather. It wasn't even dark yet. nightskyhunter.com

Beaghmore fairy tree with G5 aurora beams & setting moon. Images/print available, I will most more tomorrow night for those interested. nightskyhunter.com

No harm in posting another image. Southern portion of the corona radiating downwards from the sky like some kind of celestial apparition. Beaghmore May 10th. nightskyhunter.com #epicaurora #beaghmore

May 10th aurora by drone - I was impressed how the DJI Mavic 3 Classic performed. 5 sec exposures at ISO800. #aurora #drone nightskyhunter.com

Another image from Friday night during the peak of the G5 storm captured between Beaghmore and Davagh in Co. Tyrone. 15mm wide angle of full frame DSLR The corona & rayed forms seemed to cascade downward in all their celestial glory in a fan of light. nightskyhunter.com

c-g bolt near Tobermore striking not far from Glenshane Pass this afternoon. Captured by drone. nightskyhunter.com

Thunderstorm precip core captured from Tobermore/Moyola River looking west, this cell produced several very nice c-gs, one of which may have been a positive bolt. nightskyhunter.com

Time lapse of the epic geomagnetic storm. Almost 2000 exposures. The time lapse sequence of the corona, lasting approx 30 secs, I consider to be my finest night sky lapse ever taken in my life so I'm very happy with how that turned out. youtu.be/kuZneBPpeG0?si…

Plenty of storms intercepted today, no structure, but rich in thunder and seen my first c-gs of the season, might have one or two on video. Geomagnetic storms then thunderstorms within 3 days, love it!

Interesting today across NI, 100-800 CAPE, Cz zone rite cross Mid-Ulster on a S-N line, very cold cloud tops, slack Sly flow, low level shear, could be a few storms, flash flooding & funnel clouds! #chasing #convection
