bet it's bloody cloudy. There was a green glow in the northern sky a week or so back, when it happened to be clear, it does or did indeed look like the pre-dawn light coming up in the wrong place, and justifies its name thusly. [aurora borealis = northern dawn in latin, for them as don't know]
There's lots of green, red, white and blue flashes in the sky down in Portsmouth tonight. Oh yeah - Gut Fawkes night!!!
Hmmm, not many mountains in Lincolnshire either. Hang on, I will go and park on that speed hump ;-) Might not see even then as it is like being in Baghdad tonight.
Not many of them in South Lincs / North Cambs :-(

The Southern Lights too should be visible to those in the better (antipodean) regions of the world on - Tuesday night half of Australia could see them, outside of city areas.
Don't try this in a J**p folks...
I'd guess that Baghdad was a lot quieter than Sheffield last night.

whilst we're all craning our necks chk this

The sump of my 101 is clearer than the sky tonight... :-(
Oh well, s'pose It'd be best to either go beddies or annoy the neighbours with some very loud Steve Vai...

The sky cleared earlier in the evening which enabled a superb view of the eclipse through the telescope in the garden. As a result got to bed at 2am but not sure SWMBO appreciated my ice cold feet planted in the middle of her back hehehehehehe!

I initially interpreted that as meaning that your sump was devoid of any occluding oil. But then it occurred to me that you were probably referring to the blackness of the sky.
Depressing... Aternoon started clear, evening it clouded over - then cleared a little around 11pm (still lots of ambient smoke from the fireworks, but generally good). Then around midnight - the big unfriendly clouds rolled in to stay... Depressing... :-(

How could that possibly annoy the neighbors ??
