Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 This looks like being a good night for the Northern Lights in the northern half of the UK. Try this webcam for a good live view before you turn in toninght: Burrafirth | Shetland Webcams This is not just, by UK standards, very far north, being in Shetland, it is as about as far north as you can go in Shetland! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I've never been lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis in real life. And on-screen, it just looks like cheap special effects. One day, hopefully. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

The camera can exaggerate the colours. 1 "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I have caught them on camera in Bedford before now, but would love to see them properly. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on-screen, it just looks like cheap special effects. One day, hopefully. I saw them in Iceland back in March. First in the weedy form where they looked like a greyish green cloud unless you used a good lens. Second night they were completely spectacular - the northern sky was completely lit up, pulsing, dancing, rays shooting out. The lot. Lasted about an hour. Bucket list item - tick.

I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
