Thanks for the heads up 👍. Saw a fantastic display to the naked eye where we are in Angus, with columns and curtains, greens and reds. Too nice for me to waste time getting the DSLR and setting it up when I could just enjoy them.

Oh wow!

Proper jealous, the app has been pinging at me tonight but no chance near me in Yorkshire, slightly gappy cloud with drizzle here, and looks to be the same all the way to the highlands. If I thought there was a big gap in the clouds somewhere in the north of England I'd be in the car by now with a camera and a flask.

Very jealous. Just recently spent 5 nights in Iceland and didn’t see a thing.

West is best tonight - Tobermory

My mate has just sent me a photo from his bro in laws at Banchory, looks like the same spot?

 looks like the same spot?

Astronomically speaking, right next-door 🙂

What app are you all using?

Northern England under extensive cloud cover tonight. Good luck if you find a gap but most of Scotland clear all evening. Twitter went nuts.

Dunblane

Angus here too; stunning display. One of the best. No pics, too busy enjoying and trying not to get too cold.

What app are you all using?

Straight out Pixel 4a or Redmi Note 10

Really good even in Edinburgh with the light pollution.

Tenerife

What app are you all using?

It was visible to the naked eye - been all over local FB and Insta. I’ve used the Glendale app before

App? In my case, Jungle Drums and Mk1 eyeball 🙂

My photos are from a Pixel 6

My sister just sent me this from the back door of their house in Donegal.

Cheers for posting scotroutes ,it made me decide to drag myself to the hills for a better look.
Not bad over the Angus Glens,mostly green but a braw night.
It was nice to see a lot of other folk out doing the same thing,at least ,I think that's what they were doing 😉
I must get the AuroraWatch alerts set up again.

Been out a few times but still cloudy unfortunately:/

Geomagnetic activity went through the roof again!

From my bathroom window in Troon. Just about visible to the naked eye. If I’d realised it was going to be that good I’d have gone somewhere darker 😎

Wow, these pictures are incredible. Very cool.

Wow +1. Amazing photos. I've always wanted to see the northern lights and I'll have to make the effort now.

Still there. Visible to the naked eye but the phone certainly enhances it.

Missed it because I'm over at work but it looked like an especially vibrant night in St Andrews:

Is there a way to forecast the aurora?

Yup,Sun spots

It's your local weather that is the tricky bit.

Is there a way to forecast the aurora

In quite a vague way.
The other issue is the combination of weather or daylight - so many times your get at alert for orange or red levels and it's bright sunshine or cloudy.

Was an amazing display last night. Bloody cold though.

Wow,that's amazing .
How did you capture that mini stormtrooper in a jetpack. 😉 😆

Just to give hope to those of us not in Scotland, my mate took this shot last night from his mums place just over the hill here in the Brecon Beacons

Guy from Lancaster uni just on R4, says it was visible as far south as Somerset and the quantocks! Viewable from Fylde coast as well which is my neck of the woods, I had no idea. Apparently worth keeping eyes peeled again tonight, it was a particularly large ejection from the Sun!

Poor old Good Morning Britain.

Is that tweet a spoof? I am not sure that Crowborough has a snowy hill and Girraffe(?) at present...

I'm sure the producers at GMB know what they're doing. If they think giraffes are wandering past the snow-flecked peaks of East Sussex, who am I to argue?

AuroraWatch app has just sent out a red alert notification

We're full cloud cover again :/
