I didn't stay up long enough to have a chance of seeing it, but the Aurora was amazing last night in Brittany. This photo was taken by local photographer Rémi Lemenicier in Saint Malo :

I went to bed early (although I had seen an alert )and missed it as well. My niece in Cheshire got some good pictures

Cloudy here and possibly too far south but thanks for the picture

Apparently there are good sightings again in the UK tonight. The sky near me is patchy with cloud. I have been out but there’s a lot of light pollution

After a lot of experimenting, I managed to get a shot out of the bathroom window. I had to use a tripod as it was a 20" exposure.

Slight haze over the northern horizon, so I got the camera out and it turned out to be ---

slight haze

Oh well, as I suggested we are too far south except in the most extreme circumstances. I did get a view last year.
