Top spotter was LU9DCE but CX2SA got in there too.

Sun: 5 sunspots with a new one just emerging.
Bright auroras were sighted in multiple locations around Iceland, Norway, and Canada. They even dipped into the United States with green pillars over Minnesota and Wisconsin.
We're not sure where the instigating CME came from. Probably, it is one of two CMEs that left the sun on Sept. 23rd. Neither was supposed to hit Earth and, indeed, this was not a direct hit. The off-target CME passed nearby, snowplowing dense (73 protons/cc) solar wind plasma onto Earth's magnetic field. The sudden load triggered the geomagnetic storm. (spaceweather.com)

Footy : England lose to Italy 1 – 0 and then draw against the old enemy, Germany 3 – 3. Not a good competition for us really, played 6 won none.
