Yeah, what time exactly?

Are you supposed to just sit by the window for 9 hours?

North West tonight said best between 12 and 3am

Keep an eye on the feed. When it hits red then there is a good chance.

It’s red about 7 but dropped off a bit now.



Link to site. Was actually stronger at 7 than it was last night.

Out by the Lake in Windermere ….diddly squat and not that cloudy. Had got my hopes up as well!

Don’t expect a brilliant Photographic experience wherever you go -cos I’ve been up the Arctic numerous times and it’s often just flashing lights etc to the naked eye. Obviously

It doesn't always last very long I'm afraid, it comes and goes, but reports from as far south as Cornwall again tonight.

You need long exposures to get good photo's.

Won't be getting any photos here tonight, it's snowing so hard, got maybe 100 yard visibility with no wind

Damn, can't imagine how beautiful an aurora would look against snow covered streets.

Mrs 85mcfc has just text me to say she wants to drive somewhere tonight to see if we can get a good view of them.

I'm sure there are plenty of people on here far more intelligent than me that might be able to give me a few ideas? Or is the Mrs pulling my leg...

You sure she just doesnt want to get some frozen chicken wings from Iceland?
