Armchair aurora watching

[DustBunnyFarmer]

I'm starting this discussion because I was in danger of hijacking the Icelandic volcano thread. I started using the Mila Icelandic webcams to watch the eruption at Holoraun (the Bardabunga webcams), but lately I've seen the aurora borealis quite a few times on the other webcams, particularly the Thingvellir webcam www.livefromiceland.is/webcams/thingvellir/, although the lights can be seen sometimes on the Hekla and Jokulsarlon ones.

Another OP posted a link to the Hotel Ranga aurora cam, which is here: www.hotelranga.is/northern-lights/northern-light-webcam/

I am posting a couple of pics below for comparison to get you started. The first is a lovely aurora shot at Thingvellir from September, then a more blurry one from last night and a normal dark evening shot.

If you can find any other lovely aurora cams please post links (and pics) below. Happy hunting!

D'oh 'course it is. I'm a pillock!
Nice curtains though!

Abisko is putting on a nice show at the moment!

Indeed it is!

No aurora, but the skidoos are breeding.

at 'skidoos breeding!'
Not a lot showing at the moment ~ Tromso might have a hint of green and Abisko has slightly more but that's it.
And yay! North Finland webcam is working again.

This one's for you Gloria, as I read on one of the other threads you were curtailing your late night surfing.

No ~ wasn't me! (think it was OYBBK ~ she found she wasn't getting a good night's sleep after surfing late.)
Some gentle green Aurora at Abisko overnight.

Ah yes, that makes sense as you both frequent the weather threads.

Paging Badger and Gloria! Paging Badger and Gloria! Abisko is putting on a show.

And Porjus and Tromso are in on the party.

More green again - DH refuses to look at the "boring green ones" now - but I like the cloud effect at the bottom of the shot.

It always surprises me that even though there isn't that high an Aurora level forecast, such loveliness still occurs!

I am very relieved to have North Finland and Abisko back.

I know the green Aurora has been more common than other colours but it appears in too many ways to be boring!

Porjus almost looks like an alien landscape, with all the green and the shadowy snow covered skidoos.

Abisko is giving what looks like a green search light shining up into the night sky. The small, narrow beam effect is quite interesting.

very nice.

Hello!

Hi Badger. It's been a great evening on the Abisko camera. I hope you get a chance to review the pictures before they are overwritten.

I'm nearly up to my daily limit, so here's one more for posterity.

OK, last one - there's a hint of purple and the curtain effect at Porjus right now.

And someone's finally cleared the snow off Kiruna - there's a hint of green on the horizon.

Porjus looking lovely, and Tromso being the usual consistent performer.

And just flicked on to Abisko and it's still lovely

Thanks Badger - good to hand over the baton to someone with a photo allowance still to burn.

I thought Sodankyla and Muonio were both offline, but looking carefully at them now I can just make out trees or 'scenery' (for want of a better world) around the edge. They must both be in very dark areas with little light pollution because it's hard to make out, but there is a very, very faint aurora at Sodankyla which has helped.
