Looking North over to the Butt of Lewis lighthouse, a gap in the cloud gave a very nice green arch, it has been there for over an hour now, but the cloud has not cleared any more. Nice to see even such a small Northern Lights activityr. A few radio ham beacons were also noticed to be Auroral on the 50Mhz band. GM7PBB.

Attached is a magnetogram from my observatory in Anchorage Alaska USA that recorded the geomagnetic storm (K-index = 5) at 1057 Oct 22 UTC. Note: The magnetogram is not calibrated so only registers K-index = 4 but the Space Weather Prediction Center showed this event as K-index = 5.
