Or look out your window reaaaally hard / far.

Because that’s how seeing works.

Father Ted explained it better

Definitely saw it yesterday thanks to this thread - however the pics are BS. Someone literally posted in the group where I used to live "take a photo to see it properly!" because it enhanced the crap out of the colours. Photos are all BS.

Wait, you mean the sky wasn’t bright pink, purple and/or green. I want my money back

That’s what cameras do - allow you to see other parts of the spectrum that are of less intensity than your eyes can manage.

The aurora ARE those colours, it’s just that they aren’t that intense at this low a latitude. I’ve seen them with my own eyes exactly as these photos show them when I was in Norway, up a hill with a clear sky, and you could see the colours moving. I’ve also been the Iceland and seen them with the same intensity with the naked eye, but without the colour to them unless I used my camera. The same was true from a plane over the Orkneys.

Ignoring that it is 2024 and phone cameras are tuned for Instagram.

I’ve put some Phil Collins on to entice it.

Just went outside: nothing doing. But it's still a little bit light.

I've gone to rutland water. Captured them last night locally but unfortunately the aurora app won't load and its cloudy here so relying on you guys to help me out.
