Blew me away! It was my second time photographing aurora here as it doesn't happen often but this one really had me dancing! Cant wait to have a proper camera and not a 2yr old Samsung phone haha, hope you had a chance last night for some good flicks!

I have not had a chance, the Bz has been very solidly northward for like 6 hours plus now, I think I’ll give up waiting and go to bed, it’s midnight 

Yes, definitely get a DSLR, it will make an amazing difference!

 

 

Okay, this is getting kind of ridiculous.  Any south?? Any?? It's been like 6 hours...
Imagine if this graph was flipped 🤤

Imagine being me. I have been out for a very long time, looking at the aurora. It starts to disappear. My extremly cold and tired brain said "Lets go home, that's all." Literally 10 minutes after i left, with a 5 minute drive from location to home i saw the magnetometer. 

And to add to . It's been the best aurora i've seen(I live really far south in Sweden). I feel happy and satisfied thinking that I got the full experience. When I saw the magnetometer from Kiruna I wanted more and the feeling of satisfaction and happiness was replaced with "IF I just didnt leave..."

 

Well well cykelställ as we say in Sweden.

It was pretty epic up near the North coast of Scotland. I didn't venture out of my back garden because i hoped

that i would get a nice display over the house and so it turned out to be. Thankfull that we got that 1 hour or so of Southerly BZ

because since then it has gone back to strong Northerly for the last 14 hours os so. Hope it flips again for this evening.
