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!

Porjus and Abisko are rocking and rolling again already.

More lovely green scenes this evening.
I forget about Porjus1 sometimes. It's nice to have a different view.

Lovely job!

Tromso is good tonight.

Indeed it is. Are you a frequent flyer around these parts, Namey?

This is a good 'un too.

Lovely wishy-washy

Great pics tonight

Very green at Porjus at the moment!

I do actually come on here a lot. Not posted on this thread before but I lurk.

Recently I've managed to find a website that works for IPad so I can see these webcams - it's aurora service I think. So I might be sharing a few more now.

I have a holiday to Iceland lined up in the next couple of months and I so want to see the northern lights !

This is my fix until I do !

Well it's good to have you on board - welcome! Of course, now we'll all be stewing with Iceland envy, but in a good way.

Thank you !
I hope so. I will try and get some decent photos if I am lucky enough to see anything.

Pitch black star-studded night at Abisko just now, which just goes to show how little light pollution there is there and how much light the aurora usually generates.

Nothing to see yet...

Lovely, lovely Aurora (and I'm going to exhaust the photo allowance!)

Ooooooh !

Some hints of blue/purple at Abisko earlier.

If this carries on, they are going to be lucky, lucky tourists watching at Abisko and North Finland tonight!

Yes it's supposed to be high levels tonight right ? Up to 4 ?

That's the best North Finland I've seen Gloria!

The green green skies of Porjus

I think you're right, Pseudo ~ I don't remember seeing it as colourful as this before!

That is a nice one of Porjus!
Tourists are out at North Finland.

Fab pics all - the North Finland ones are especially precious because it doesn't archive the pics. I'm headed over to my aurora tabs now...

Wow, nightfall had barely fallen at Abisko before it got going.
