#53I 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 pla…
Agree. Was surprised how well the phone pulled the colour out.
Can’t find my DSLR unfortunately otherwise it’d be on the tripod.
Had to wake the 6 year old for him to see this, once in a life time type of thing

#54If I am in Texas, should I take care of anything? Like flip breakers or disconnect solar panels?

#55Wow! 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
Yeah, none of these other stories and photos are from reality

No, this is all quite harmless.

#57This shows a scientific view of it: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/space/surface/level/an...
It was seen in France and Switzerland today, even if they are not colored in on the map, so it could be seen outside the main areas.
Also - there is green over the equator - is that intentional?

All of that. Plus, wrap your head in aluminum foil.

Yeah, camera sensors (depending on filtering) are far more sensitive to the dim light of the aurora than our eyes. Still means you can get utterly amazing photography there already! :)

#60I heard the aurora would be visible in Netherland, so living in Amsterdam I just went outside to check. Nothing. Maybe some very vague lighter bands in some places? Cities have too much light for this sort of thing.
