Red auroras over the Netherlands

[Ed astro]

Managed to catch the northern lights for the second time this year from my home near Tiel in the Netherlands. This was between 22:15 and 22:45 UTC when geomagnetic activity was already declining. The northern lights were barely visible with the naked eye as a faint glow in the northern sky, but the camera picked it up easily. There was also some green towards the northern horizon, but this was difficult to see due to clouds and light pollution.

Great pics!

Is the green colour in the second picture the one you told? Am I seeing that?

Yes there is some green in the second picture, just above the clouds.
