While watching for Perseids the aurora kindly put on a show around 1am when a G2 geomagnetic storm hit. Taken along the Shropshire Union Canal south of Brewood where the skies are a bit darker.
The skies were blue in between the fluffy white clouds so decided to take the opportunity to get out in the sunshine. Seeing wasn't great the closer the sun was to an edge of a cloud, but at least the transparency was good!
