No way!  :wall:
I missed it by 1.5 hours

I think that is from the field they fly the toy planes in?

That doesn't look like anything that would be visible to the naked eye. Camera sensors are much more sensitive at low light levels, especially where colour is concerned.

Plus long exposures and cranking up saturation levels can draw the slightest hint of green out of any image.

Fulfilling one of my "Aims for 2016"

After a stressful day at work, and a long session at the wall I nipped down to the coast near home based on the forecast, and managed to grab a few shots before hands went totally numb and batteries started dying in the minus 5 or so temps.



Anyone who has climbed locally may recognise the spot, and know the approach was a bit challenging with frozen ground and ice everywhere.

I thought folk might like to see these shots, taken by an old school friend of mine last night, now living in Aberdeen.

I think they're pretty spectacular!

Here's a jpeg of probably my best shot. I think I had ISO too low, need a better wider and better lens.

Guy I was with nailed it.

Yep. I told him he'd overcooked it and he doesn't care.

I'm in the orange jacket.

Forecast to be active the next few nights, worth a look as it's moonless too. Meant to be more active later in the week, but we're forecast to be clouded out, tonight is best hope. Good luck,

skunked by fog and clouds. Got a few shots with faint glow. Forecast to be better tonight, but we have low cloud and rain.

Fucking weather, there was a brief window about 2am apparently when skies cleared and it died off shortly after. Last night there was a brief spell as well, although no-one on mainland UK saw it.

Left camera running on time lapse last night in the back garden and caught it between the clouds. Anyone else try?

Big display Monday night, could see it with the eye from our back garden, visible as far south as the Peak. Anyone else catch  it?
