The answer really dedpends on the strenght of the user a 10" OTA can be a big thing to deal with even if the mount can take it.

Straight from the camera no editing. Will be interesting to see what editing can do, camera pointing to the Zenith tonight Sam had East.

Still going and stronger.

Early in the evening and a bit low ill be interested to see what the Gopros get

I am far too polite to ask if you have one short leg. [On the tripod!] ☺️
Blocking the headlights on the road might be a consideration for next time.
But only because they are a distraction for what is going on overhead.
Can you move to the left to use the buildings in the foreground as a mask?
Quicker than waiting for a hedge to grow.

As to the clouds? You are naturally forgiven.
Though their haste and colour does add drama to the scene.
Nature abhors we pesky humans! It should be obvious by now.
 

Hope this helps?

I do like the clouds backlit looks cool

More time spent on it tonight with a bit of light so we can see what we are doing 🤣🤣

The view.

The location.

The setup.

Watch the aurora hide as its clear as a bell....

Mounted on the roof rack I forgot nightlapse does not have horizon lock. A crop in post will fix it it i do it, might not as its cloudy.

Hard to do when you cant see as its already dark, but this ones a epic fail.. kinda glad it was cloudy....

This is visible to the naked eye through the cloud!!!!

This would of been stunning 

Oh if there was no clouds.... That would of been a good show.

Standing out in shorts snd a t-shirt...... Is s bit chilly.

A fair bit of red going on.

It looking good here in Borganes also, 2 gopros busy at it, hope to of got a few good ones

With all the incredible images you've taken, can you imagine if it had been on film?

You would need a separate cargo plan to get it home!

"Thank the maker"  for the digital age

Forgot about these, (this happens alot..😔) taken through the car windowscreen

I always look at equipment that can have multiple uses rather than just one so in this case Binoculars are the ideal starting point, if they are successful and you want to go further refractor on Alt/AZ mount with a longer focal length to compliment the binoculars.

Ah right, that would explain it, I was assuming you were in Hereford. Once inside the Arctic Circle, the moon and Sun can appear in any direction depending on date and time. 

It a bit disorienting when you are used to UK skies, the moon and sun both in the sky pretty much all day.

I have a few while here in iceland but ill go with this, the moon is very tiny but its there 😁

I was in Grundarfordur it was early evening after 5pm. I cant get the app to set the location and time.... Hate apps tbh always have needed features missing or have to do a funny handshake to find...

Stellarium confirmed it

Hi,

I’ve recently been playing around with the above, though using a modded version of the camera app, just to see what’s possible. I think the results are pretty good: Veil, North America, California and Helix 😲

Where do you get the app?

Just caught it before the clouds hid it.... North... My brains boggled

Probably and thr gopros caught the drive also front and right.

Csme out pretty well i think, our location is not ideal due to the hot tub area having embankment surrounding it.. it was nice to bath in though.
