Hope I'm posting this in the right forum, Mods please move if not (Sorry in Advance....)
Did anyone in the UK see the Aurora Borealis last night please ???? and if so where abouts were you ???
I'm just north of Lincoln and it's my wife's goal (now) to see this, it was in the media yesterday that you should be able to see it.
I downloaded an app, Aurora, which seemed quite helpful in showing KP Activity (??), probability of seeing it and sightings.
We watched as the sightings as they moved across northern Russia, Finland, Norway to Iceland then off to southern Greenland. Nothing for UK.
The App shows somemore up coming activity later on this month, so you never know.
Are there any other better apps??
I had my camera on a tripod and took a photo of the sky around every 10 mins looking for hints of pink or green, but alas nothing.
Finally gave up at 1am and headed home. Hopefully got a nice(ish) shot of Orion.
Great thing is it's inspired me to finally dust off my scope and get back out there over the fourth coming week.
Look forward to hearing from you guys.
