Details:
At approximatly 02:00 UTC an unexpected CME(Coronal Mass Ejection)impacted our planet’s magnetosphere.
The Aurora display was fairly active peaking at G2 storm levels. A large portion of the
display took place past the Zenith above the southern horizon. The aurora was actually
bright enough to be seen in conjunction with the lunar phase of the moon at 78%.
As some light cloud cover began to move in from the west I recorded the formation of the following Lunar Halo.
