Anyone else seeing the aurora?? First time I’ve seen it and its amazing!!!
looking pretty good hereLove it!!
Fantastic!!
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 have the app!! That will be amazing if its still happening tonight!!
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.
Great photo you got!
If you use ur phone camera you pick up the colours better!!
I did get some colours on my phone! But I’m looking for the experience rather than the photo
Yeah I get that!!
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
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
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!
Yeah! Visible here in Belgium too! It’s so weird but very cool to see! (Can’t upload photos sadly, lemm.ee doesn’t allow me to)
Lucky you! Is Belgium far enough north for it to be a regular occurence for you?
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!
Glad you got to see it then!!
Was out earlier nothing visible to me sadly slight green tinge in the North but tbh I think that’s wishful thinking
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!!
Was really wired started seeing people post pictured around me but I got jumped it was like I was in a black hole
Took a couple pictures of the sky see if it picked up anything but nope
Maybe you’ll get to see something tonight!!!
Damnit, I meant to go check if I could see anything but got distracted and forgot… 🤦♀️
In bed now, not getting up, try again tomorrow.Love your photo!
My photos aren’t great but i’m just sp chuffed i’ve seen it!! Maybe you’ll get out tonight for a look!
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!
Yeah definitely set a reminder!! I hope you get to see it!!
Managed to remember to go look, was outside for about 45 min looking in all directions and saw nothing. :(
Sky was mostly cloudy, though looking straight up was clear and starry, but nothing else, not with naked eye, not with camera at all different settings…
Booo…
Aww thats rubbish!! You’ll get to see it again I’m sure!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Just saw it in Indiana. It was cloudy, and I could only see it from the west, but it was an odd view of a red sky behind white clouds.
We got lots of pinks and reds, a bit of green and a little purple!
I’m 6 hours behind you so need more darkness.
That pic is incredible tho. I’ve rarely seen pinks in auroras.
Did you see anything?? It was mostly pinks for us last night. Apparently thats the nitrogen where green is the oxygen.
Didn’t see anything, but I’m on the south end of a large city close to the Can-US border so the light pollution is atrocious.
Yeah we had quite a bit of light pollution too. If we gwt another chance tonight i’m definitely going somewhere dark!!
