On my bucket list as well
Last significant birthday Mrs Ron offered to take me on a trip to see them, but no guarantee...
In the back garden and then to the next lane in the village where there's no light...grinning like an annoying twat looking at nature at its best
Suppose it's time to get a bucket next
I was really surprised last night just how un-northern they were. Not for long like, but I’d been looking north and thinking I’d missed them, then looked up and here in Skidby they were literally overhead in an arc that went all the way from the western horizon and nearly to the eastern one.
Absolutely magical experience, though as many have said the camera view is better than the one with your naked eye.

Can anyone explain why sometimes you can’t see them with the naked eye, but can see them when you take a picture
I’ve only seen ‘em the once, though I did spend a couple of hours laid on the ground in a field doing so, but certainly with last night’s it wasn’t that you couldn’t see them at all. It was more that you could see a bit of a pink / red / green or whatever haze that earlier in the evening you might have mistaken for the setting sun shining off a cloud.
As it got darker they got more easily viewable with the naked eye, but even from 10ish you could see where to point your camera easily enough.
I think Zimozimo’s already answered why a camera ‘sees’ them better.
It's always polite to start upstairs front bedroom, then front garden, and finish in the back garden. Sometimes the back gardens closed in which case you can finish on the bay windows.
Absolutely amazing photos sir… I don’t get jealous but I’ll be honest, I’m pretty close… let’s just say I’m a bit envious lolYou must log in or register to see imagesYou must log in or register to see imagesYou must log in or register to see images

Disappointment in Barnsley as what was first thought to be Northern Lights, turns out to be Vauxhall Nova on fire.

A supernova.
By all accounts it was a creamy light yellow coloured Vauxhall Nova.
Champagne Supernova.
Yep, Brian Cox for example. Patrick Moore is another who would have been able to.
