I didn't have a film camera ready with color film in it, so I ran out the door with my M240 and up a hill on the nearby golf course when I read on messenger that someone in my neighborhood had seen the Northern Lights. It has never happened to me before, to be allowed to see the northern lights, so it was a great experience.

    @klawe Yes, I have never seen it before and I think, that I will be very lucky to ever see it again here in Hillerød. :-)

    That was an aurora with the magnitude of KP 7 last night. It could be seen from the middle of Germany. The whole thing was also possible due to the clear night and the large high pressure area. Since solar activity will continue to increase over the next 1-2 years, such an event could happen again.
    But this is a very nice photo. You hit the polar light very well!

    Get your cameras ready for tonight. It should be repeated! Maybe you'll get lucky again!

    I haven't seen anything like this since I've been watching the site! Something really comes across. If the weather is good, you can see the Northern Lights again;-)

    Look at the page again tonight. It's getting closer to Europe. The probability is then given for the European cities.
