Anyone watching for Northern Lights tonight?

[GlueNoGlue]

It’s supposed to be a perfect night to see them in the U.K. the combination of the solar flare and the clear sky means they’re potentially visible from anywhere in the U.K. Just wondering if I’m the only one staring out the window hoping to see something!

As a bit of background FWIW the likes of NOAA that monitor solar activity gave the heads up that this might be a longer lasting storm than usual because there were several solar events (Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs) in a sequence a couple of day back rather than the normal single event- so doubly crossing fingers for tonight..

Who on earth has clicked on YABU?

Are these the ones who missed the Northern Lights, and it's made them salty, and bitter?! 😆

As a pps said @GlueNoGlue thanks for starting this thread. I went out to look because of you (AND SAW THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!)

Anyone see anything from one of the London parks? I'm very central so didn't see a thing, gutted! Going to take the kids somewhere tonight but don't know where - Parliament Hill?!

I votedYanbu despite missing them!
I noticed the beautifully fine sickle moon 🌙 in the early evening sky with magnificent pinks and blues- hopefully tonight they will be visible here 🤞🌙🌌🤩

My daughter lives in a flat in Finsbury Park and there was a lovely view across the city despite the light pollution. Late though, after midnight.

Can anyone see anything tonight?

Nothing so far! It’s still quite light though

Apparently 22:00-02:00

Sorry that should read 23:00-02:00

Can anyone advise on iPhone settings for a good photo ?

I hope so! I feel so sad for the folk that missed them! Good luck tonight everyone.! 😍

The apps really can't predict to that level of accuracy - as soon as it's dark it's worth looking.

It’s pitch black here already, is it still light in other areas?

Hate to say it but the last set of predictions run by NOAA in the last hour didn't look terribly promising for the southern uk.

Even so worth a look with fingers crossed.

@notimagain its in the red still and clear (where I am at least!) so keeping everything crossed
