A large coronal mass ejection associated with a X7-class solar flare early on the 20th Jan led to this aurora on the evening of the 21st. This event was visible over much of northern England dispite the bright moon.
Apart from the first one, these images have been gamma corrected. It's such along time since we had the last visible aurora I had forgotten the best camera settings... B-(
