Aurora Borealis red alert for the Uk tonight.

[Rroff]

Can just about see it here - not very impressive though (though pretty crazy it is possible to see at all) weirdly people about 10 miles south and a little west of me are putting some absolutely stunning pictures on Facebook.

Look through your phone camera.

It does appear to be diminishing.

We got a really good showing here but cameras aren’t half over emphasising the effect. It looks nothing like that to the naked eye.

I forgot completely until my mate messaged me. Didn’t have time to set up my proper camera and tripod so just took this on my phone.

 

[Pyr0m@nI@]{]

Not a very clear night here. I could barely see anything, but my phone was able to get a few blurry shots

 

[Neil79]

I saw a shooting star too!!

View from.the garden.

You got starlink too!

For some reason it isn't anything like some people are getting, even with basic phone cameras and no editing, dunno if there is haze here or something - it is distinct in peripheral vision but barely noticeable if you look directly at it. It has ebbed and flowed a bit over the last half hour or so.

Faint here in Winchester but lots of friends in Surrey getting a good show. Need to be in an area of low light pollution.

 

[Bluecube]

Got a couple shots from my back garden. Stunning stuff

 

[Raymond Lin]

With the naked eye it looks like white streaks but with the camera it is clearer.

I wasn’t even aware this was happening tonight. I went out to let the dog do a pee and thought I had went in to hyperspace.

 

[godinman]

Thanks for the reminder! Got a few cool shots, obviously not as bright irl but still cool and could see the colours. Got my two kids out of bed to look.

 

[XeNoN89]

Managed to get a lot of decent photos despite being in SW London! The phone camera picked it up a lot

 

[Begbie]

Incredible. Looked to the naked eye as it does in the photos above. In total awe.

 

[ICDP]

I stood for 20 minutes to let my night vision adjust. At first it looked like a weird cloud formation but as I looked at it after a few minutes I realised it was the Aurora. Yes a decent phone camera with a few seconds exposure will emphasise it, but let your night vision adjust and you start to see the colours pop a bit.

We are rural which helps of course.

It was same patterns just not as bright, definitely easier to see the pink streaks with the eye than the green

 

[redkrptonite]

Yeah drove out a few miles and could faintly see the pinks and the greens a lot better through the camera. Unbelievable stuff. Only went to iceland the other year to see them and left disappointed. I'm glad to finally get some good images.

 

[mithrandir]

North or South.

Asking for a neighbour

Look north

 

[Hedge]

Unreal. I really should be asleep by now but I keep going in and out of the house to see how it's changed.

Was very impressive earlier. Almost like a torch light shining down from space.
