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!

They barely have any darkness at the moment but are seeing aurora even in the half light

Wow! Thanks Badger. At this rate, we may limp home to 40 pages/a full thread.

You've also reminded me that I must start checking the Antarctic cameras.

Actually, you weren't wrong about current activity. Just screenshotted these from Kilpisjarvi and Kiruna.

Some great photos from the UK last night (Anglesey, N Ireland etc)

Any good links, Badger?

No links but here are some screen shots from facebook

Thanks Badger - lovely shots.

In other news, I have my first shot of the aurora australis from the Tasmanian camera on that EU site.

Lovely photos, Pseudo.
And there's some lovely green aurora just started at Alaska!

Some lovely aurora photos from the last few days here.

Latest spaceweather report here ~ might be chance of some earth directed activity.

Look - they really do pack up for the summer. Still, we only have to wait until late August.

Not too long to wait!

Aurora australis in Tasmania again.

Not Aurora but wow!

Oh aye, it's nice again just now - lots of stars and some green.

Prime Milky Way location clearly!

Kiruna camera has now shut down for the summer too - big splashy message across the camera feed.

C'mon Cressy - we are relying on you.

Lovely pics on Spaceweather from the Isle of Lewis last night - really intense greens and purples.

Tasmanian camera just now.

Looks like there's a good chance of Aurora at the moment, according to spaceweather. Might be a good idea to keep and eye on the southern hemisphere webcams.

Thanks Gloria. I think I've probably missed it.

Aurora australis in Tazzy.

Red alert tonight possibility of aurora all over the UK..... Damn clouds

I just got a Red Alert Aurora Watch and Spaceweather think it could intensify/could be a good chance of seeing Aurora about midnight time.
Blasted clouds ~ 'tis not faaaaaaair

Think there might be some pretty Aurora colours going on at the South Pole at the moment. (Link to the camera here.

The Icelandic Met Office are giving a 'severe' Aurora forecast.

Even as far down as Cornwall Gloria? We have clear skies!
