Very nice Al'
I live near Chester. There was a terrific display in our area last night.
This morning, our nearest neighbour sent my missus some superb and clear photos of the feenomeenum.
Unfortunately, my wife and I were both fast asleep and missed the whole show!

We missed them too!! Will see if there are any more tonight
It's G3 level tonight. Last night was the most powerful, G5. So you should be able to see them. But you'll get better colours from a camera.
You can download the Aurora watch app and it tells you when the best times are to see them.
Thanks Al
Mother Nature's own light show! Humbling isn't it?

CHEERS AL
We deployed to Northern Flank annually in one unit I was in - we also had some fantastic displays (and not only in Troms!). I've also been fortunate to see similar in Australia (Borealis Australis - can't remember the correct scientific name!? :sad-face: ). Nature is magnificent and very humbling.

We haven't seen the Northern Lights here in Shropshire but when we lived in Scotland we were quite often treated to some stunning displays.
WELL AL i had a look at OIOO HRS an it was a bit cloudy could just see the moon through the clouds OH DEAR
I first saw them when the ship I was on was going to Sweden - quite amazing - with no light pollution, they were vivid, and I was surprised how quickly they changed.......

Sod all in Dorset. Shame because SWMBO has never seen them. Like Dave, I've seen them many times on my nautical adventures around the planet.
Was planning to have a butchers, only problem. Out like a light!
I didn't stay up as long last night as i knew it wasn't going to be as good as the night before.
I'm planning for this winter coming that if there is going to be a decent display and it's a clear night, i'm going to head off up onto the local mountain and watch/take pictures from there. I've got my wild camping gear so i'll be nice and toasty up there.
