Well this is the first time I have seen it from my home in light polluted
Burton upon Trent and even with all the horrible orange lights its looking
good.
Its going to be interesting to see what my camera will get in the orange
glow.

Yes, I've seen those - I can't work out exactly what's going on with the
Aboyne cam - is that really auroral activity?!

Eskdalemuir looks rather more convincing, but not quite as impressive.
Certainly not as impressive as on Sunday. Again, unfortunately, it was
too cloudy, although I'd swear I saw the slightest shifting glow through
the clouds late on.

Both the Aboyne and eskdale cams look about right. I have just spent the
last few hours up in the Cheviots observing the northern skyline. It is
though distant towns are lighting up parts of the horizon when I know none
can be seen!

This observation is very different to previous encounters with the Aurora
Borealis, in the past the lights have shimmered, danced and changed colour,
and even been directly overhead, on this occasion it is best described as a
cross between light pollution from distant towns or a Northern June midnight
skyline.

Impressive none the less!

Had a look from here about 12.30am. I couldn't decide whether there was
a hint of green on the very horizon. There was some hint as to there
being a glow on the edge of sight that didn't correspond to an urban
area, but I couldn't be sure. It could easily have been a trick of the
(lack of!) light, though.

Just about, you must hate that light pollution.
