University of Fairbanks forecasts active auroras for night of Feb 26th

Those of us living far enough north in the northern hemisphere may be treated to active auroras tomorrow evening.

According to the University of Fairbanks Geophysical Institute Aurora Forecast, auroral activity may be sufficiently strong that they will be visible as far south as the northern parts of the continental US. Presumably Scandinavia, Iceland and northern UK could also get a good show.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it actually pans out this time? Maybe post your photos if you do manage to see them?

It seems that there was a strong aurora at about midnight UTC last night. It was still daylight for most of us here in North America, but they should have been visible from northern Europe, including Scotland and the northern parts of Ireland. The map below is from about an hour or so after peak activity. Did anyone here see anything?
