[Closed] News flash.....Northern Lights!

wade- scotland yes,
would be nice to see them down here.

is lectric finally connected?

According to the Beeb visible in Englandshire.

Twitter is frantic with pics some are as far down Sunderland. Tempted to head of town a bit.

claims as far south as Norfolk.

I've not seen any but it's very cloudy here and the street lights are all over that sky.

I'm heading out to the garden...

Beautiful clear sky in South Lanarkshire but nothing doing. Wade - where are you?

I've just been watching them from a dark spot near Aviemore

Nice clear sky in North Wilts, but too much to hope they'd be visible down here, and there's too much light pollution in town.
And I'm not driving out into the country just on the off-chance.

Bright green sky to the north from the East Lothian coast. Someone is getting a good one further north

Faint hint of them from my bedroom window but as it's in the direction of the town centre it's not very good.

Showing well in Wester Ross.

Good show at Nethy, thanks for the heads up waderider, aurorawatch lets me down again.

Getting some amazing pictures on Facebook. This one from Boulmer.

Very tempted to drive up.

Damn,too much cloud here in Dundee 🙁

Too much cloud cover here just south of Stirling . Might check later when the baby gets up for her next feed

Damn Righog now I'm tempted to head over there.

Always wanted to see them but no chance stuck in London.

BigR - Appin

Very faint on the northern horizon in ilkley, a bit ago, now gone.

Another pic up this time from Bedlington.

Nothing at all in Strathkinness, although I can see the Milky Way.

Probably light pollution from Dundee just about (and only just) washing it out
🙁

Nipped out, freezing and clear but still nothing. Watched a fantastic display in Canada many moons ago but only seen a few poor displays since. 😥

Great big colourful swirls here in west wales...
on the rain radar that is. Yes its raining again.

I envy those who can see them. Have done once down here, amazing experience.

I saw them from Norfolk once, quite faint, but visible. I think its best when theres no light pollution north, which is why East Anglia was good.

Took a wee jaunt into the pentlands to have a look, I wasn't sure what I was seeing earlier as it wasn't so different from normal light pollution but looking again now it's gone so that must have been it 😆 Quite cool, and a lovely cold starry night as well.

Just home after a quick drive to the Meldons near Peebles. Lovely bright yellow sky heading into green higher up. No dancing lights but did not look like light pollution from Edinburgh.

Very faint something in a very clear cloudless sky in North Shropshire.

Gone now, was a good display tho

Not my photo but this from Berwick...

Just shouted to all my mated in Aberdeen to get themselves out and had 3 or 4 of them reply with a positive response!

Decent show here in the Tyne valley - got a few pics from near Stocksfield

Been out for a bimble in the hills, bit too much cloud low to the North but certainly noticed a greenish tinge to the sky that's not normal.

Did manage to get a good view of Jupiter just above orion to the West and hercules, bootes and Corona Borealis to the East were very bright.

My crap pics.

One of mine from Edinburgh (missed the best of it, sadly...)

Ace pic.

Can't believe I missed it 🙁

Was it visible to the eye, or just picked up on long exposures?

A few i saw on FB last night

NASA wins 😉

There wasn't much to see from the middle of Hove last night 🙁

FFS if I was at home in Dundee, it'd be too cloudy.

But I'm actually in Norway, still to effing cloudy.

peterfile, it was visible to the eye in Edinburgh at times, but changed intensity so for a while I could only see it through a long exposure.

Took this one in deepest, darkest Northumberland. My first time seeing the aurora - very, very awesome!

Bieber - Where abouts where you?

that's a great pic! But I assume the beauty of seeing it in the flesh is that it's so big & panoramic?

This one was taken at Penmon on Anglesey apparently!

nothing but rain down on Exmoor (unesco darks skye reserve too, it could have been so good!)

It was naked eye visible.

NASA wins

Except it's a mock-up rather than a photograph, sadly.

Anything due for tonight?

A scientist from Jodrell bank was on BBC Breakfast this morning, saying there was virtually no chance of seeing them again tonight.

Those photos above are fabulous.

I mentioned to a drunken hubby last night that I heard a whisper that there may be a showing, he muttered 'no chance' here (South Manchester), so we didn't try and find the local dark spot, bit miffed now, as we had clear skies and they were seen.

I did eventually go out and look, had a two hour drive but only a slight green ting in the Sky for me. But someone was kind enough to make this, so now I know what I missed.
