Earlier quoted context omitted.

The one pointed 'nordest' from Monte Grappa seems to show some pink: https://www.meteograppa.it/lewebcam.php Tried looking for some webcams in the Cortina area but they seem to have a lot of clouds. Some of which appear to have a pink hue.

Light pollution does not help, probably.

Found one from the Stelvio pass that shows some colors, but nothing like some of the other links people are posting.

I live in rural very northern England. It’s incredible, clear with the naked eye. iPhone 14 camera with 3s exposure is out of this world (pun intended, but misleading)

Yeah, it's often easy to make it look much better on camera than what it did in real life. Something to keep in mind if one feel one missed out, heh.

Also, timelapses of long exposures can give a wrong impression of how it moves. But has for a long time been the only way to actually see a video of it.

It's often not that slow and wavy in real life. It's more like watching an orchestra play, where suddenly someone plays a flute in the corner, and then a few moments later a trombone sounds from the other side. It's dramatic and beautiful when it's really on.

But modern video cameras are now good enough to capture this in real time, so hopefully we'll see more realistic videoes.

I'm near Bristol. It's still absolutely stunning. It's not just to the north, either - it's everywhere.

Yep I noticed that to, it’s sort of bathing everywhere from zenith

Wow! Check out the view from the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland! https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/webcams/#webcam-jungfrauj...

Doesn’t look like that in reality. If I take a photo on my phone here in the UK midlands I get pink and green in all directions with a 3 second exposure.

However with just the naked eye it’s like super high level clouds
