It was a fantastic hour and a bit of actually being able to see it with the naked eye and I managed to get some cracking pictures. This is supposed to go on for the rest of the weekend too as there was a large solar flare the other day. Tomorrow so far is forecast to be even more intense.
Great resource for checking on the state of the aurora is:
I think I've got some sort of curse preventing me from seeing it. My friends and family are getting stellar views of dancing lights from the middle of Edinburgh and Dunfermline, meanwhile I took myself up to a quiet reservoir with no lights for miles around and saw the sky be slightly unusually light for midnight.
I haven't seen it before in my life, so I would say no. Belgium is just the temporary place I stay at atm rather than the Netherlands where the sky is littered by lights which make it harder to see/notice. Over here it's pretty clear!
I bet it was! The sky looked strange but the colours only really become highlighted when you take a photo of them! Maybe you'll get to see them tonight!!
Actually yours is one of my favourite I've seen on the fedi so far, it reminds me of when sunshine breaks through a cloud and creates really sharp rays of light, almost like you're about to hear a booming voice start giving you some commandments lol, so this is the much funkier coloured version of that!
It's definitely something I've always wanted to see, so really jealous of (but happy for) those who saw it and mostly just so annoyed at myself for forgetting last night, really hoping I can catch it tonight still! 🤞🤞 (might have to put a reminder on my phone just in case lol)
E: just had a look on aurorawatch, I don't want to give away my location, but there are some absolutely stunning photos posted from a few miles away, so will definitely make the effort to get out in the garden tonight!
Great show for you @linzid83 - did you stay up long watching it? Must admit going to bed about half ten, still too light to see anything, but the moon was a corker last night
It was amazing!! Never seen it before and was so chuffed!! I was out about midnight for about half an hour. My photos are rubbish compared to some of my friends/family. If I hadn't had the cicktail cans in the early evening I would've gone somewhere darker!!
Hopefully you'll can see them tonight!
The moon was indeed amazing.too low to see from my garden buy when I went for a walk to get a clearer vire of the northern sky it really caught me off guard. Would loved to have pointed my skope at it but spot is not ideal for that
