I'm South East, but it's on my bucket list to see it in real life 🤞🏽.

Just a slight hint here in south Cornwall. I'm not sure how everyone's cameras are picking up more exotic colours? Mine is just recording what I can see.

So amazing!

CaveMum · 10/05/2024 23:41

@SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter you need to adjust the exposure on your camera to pick up the bright colours. What type of phone are you using?

Are you north Shropshire - skies and sunsets seem to be better up there, i think because it’s flat

AlfieandAnnieRose · 10/05/2024 23:42

Wow this is amazing! I wish I had someone to share it with irl, it’s so beautiful and unreal 😍

Hertfordshire, looking west here (through an iPhone 12 that’s seen better days).

Counting down until midnight when the streetlights turn off!

It feels like it's surrounding us here in Cumbria. Not a street light for miles so we are otherwise in complete darkness apart from the moon.

Can't see much with the naked eye here in mid Cornwall but phone camera is picking up some great colours.
So glad I found this thread as I would have just looked and given up. I don't know they would show up so much more on camera.
