The first two are from my garden (and there's a lamp post right outside, I hid it behind a tree) and the third is from a nearby road, without street lighting.

BTW, anyone heading to a dark location should check their maps for any traffic problems. It might be better to stay at home front if it's dark enough (like I did).

Lots of green and pink with a recent patch of red.

Not as good as May, no structure to the colour but we may yet get something later!

Too much cloud here atm to see anything. I'm hoping it will clear soon and that the Aurora is still going when it does.

The red glow initially from the Aurora was remarkable even from here in the city. By the time I got out to somewhere a bit darker it had faded quite a bit.

I've been outside watching and taking pics for the last hour. Bit chilled now lol. Going to take a look at them in a moment. indeed, It's been a very vivid Reddish pink, almost fuchsia and I watched it slowly progress and grow across the sky from southeast to northwest. It's been great and I would have stayed out longer but I don't think my kidneys would thank me, without a warm top or jacket! Time to warm up for a bit.

Me and my youngest have just got back from Parbold Hill. Simply amazing - could easily see it with the naked eye. We both took some superb pics & video.
