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!

BBC4 has a programme on tonight (8-9pm) which I believe will interest us Aurora watchers!

I was just about to set the Tivo, but I realise I've missed the first 10 minutes. I will have to catch it on the iPlayer later.

Right, time to start burning through my photo allowance.

Porjus and Abisko looking good again. And the cloud is actually letting some sky through in Helsinki!

That'll be a first in Helsinki - it is always cloudy there!

Wow!

Alaska looked good last night, above the clouds allsky.gi.alaska.edu/#page-tonight

Fabulous tonight!

Great stuff Badger. I glanced in on Porhus earlier & saw it l

... Looked promising.

The tourists at the north Finland cabins are getting a fine show, as are the residents of Porhus.

Some red!

'Tis beautiful at Porjus tonight.

Stunning pictures :) thanks so much for posting all of you.

Might be a good night for Aurora spotters in northern bits of the UK ~ Liam Dutton (Channel 4 weather) tweeted 27 minutes ago,
"Reports of a strong Aurora now. Those of you in Scotland, N. Ireland and N'ern England look out for possible Northern Lights!"

So jealous! I'll be in NI for Christmas

What a beauty! (I should go to bed!)

And another - Porjus this time...

And another

Wow, DustBunny ~ that last one is beautiful.
Looks like Porjus is off to a good start this evening!

'tis lovely.

Was that earlier this evening, Gloria? My recent one (attached) is quite muted by comparison.

Porjus fisheye lens just now - not showing on the panorama.

Wow! Just now
