Steve_M Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Good evening. Last night, around 10pm, the Northern Lights were visible from near our location. The photo was taken by someone in the nearby town. I’d been outside looking at the night sky earlier but missed the spectacle. It’s something I’ve wanted to see since I visited Norway as a youth. Tonight I shall be staying up, standing at the top of the paddock looking north, camera in hand, hoping to see it. Wish me luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some bozo with a green laser in the woods last week, but it wasn't the same. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Got a phone? Then get the AuroraWatchUK app. Last night at about 10 it put out an alert saying aurora should be visible over the whole UK. Rushed the window. Raining and cloudy. Two hours later the stars came out, but the aurora had already stopped. Last night was supposed to be particularly good one.

S-Westerly Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 We've got what looks like the glow from a setting moon to the west which given today is a new moon I am assuming is a rather weak aurora. Hoping it gets better later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the app. The sky is clear with little or no light pollution here, the stars are bright but no sign of the Aurora, and my camera isn’t up to the task of capturing it anyway.

I am still learning although I don't have as much time as I would like to spend on it, but I have always fished since I was a nipper, can't beat being outside in the fresh air to help clear the mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love sea fishing round N Wales. I just don't get the time these days. Night fishing was always my favourite. Not that I was particularly good at it. I think I only caught the ones who had a death wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
