Here's a short clip of aurora from the Cresswell Aurora Cam livestream last Wednesday. I've uploaded the full length timelapse (which includes proton aurora) to YouTube. You can watch it here.

Watching the sky cameras last night, I noticed a bright flash lighting up the night sky. From past experience, a bright flash like this usually = fireball. I checked all livestreams, nothing except the flash, then I checked the all-sky cam and there it was !

Steady action on the Aurora Cams last night, including proton aurora giving it bright green blobs !

Nice to see people are tuning in for the livestreams, some nice comments in the live chat too. You can check out the YouTube channel here...

Aurora is appearing on both the Aurora Cams at the moment but cloud is scuppering things a bit.

This is a bit frustrating tonight ! The view from the Aurora Cams in mainly cloud ATM with just a slither of green on the Cresswell Cam !

There's been a lot of meteor activity on the Sky Cameras recently. This beauty was on the Meteor Cam LIVE last night.

The peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower is approaching (12th Aug) with estimated rates varying between 75-150 meteors/hour. 🤞 for clear skies !

Here's one from the Meteor Cam LIVE stream last night.

I've been working in partnership with Cresswell Village Hall to install a new Aurora Cam livestream on the Northumberland coast. It's in a prime location, looking north over Druridge Bay.

You can view it here...

After 8 months of seamless 24/7 livestreaming, we had an internet outage today. As a result, all the Sky Cameras are out of action and YouTube has now killed off the streams. 🙁

I hope to have them up and running again tomorrow, watch this space. 🤞

Skyglow from poorly aimed lighting drowns out the stars for 80% of the world’s population. It's time to reclaim the night — one shielded fixture at a time. #DarkSkyWeek #ReclaimTheNight #Day2
