First time in 77 years I’ve seen the “lights”. Unless you used your phone camera they were difficult to see. They are supposed to be stronger tonight.
Taken 11 November 2025
A beautiful shot - fav! I've seen the northern lights twice - once, years ago, from our garden before it became popular for properties to have outdoor lights, and once last winter when I had to go for a walk to find a dark place to make it more visible - and that time I got photos.
Some things are worth waiting for. I was a bit younger but it was a magical experience. On the second night I decided to leave the camera in its bag to best enjoy the show.

Last fall when we were in England the lights were visible, but we were in London so wasn’t worth trying to see them. Not the time we were in Yorkshire or Lincs.

Unfortunately it’s really just visable through the camera lens, just faint red and green otherwise and not moving. Going to a darker spot tonight.
Hi Dorothy- finally got to my email today but I did not see the one you sent- try again?
Olivetreeann@mail.com (not gmail- just plain mail.com). I checked my spam folder too just in case, but nothing was there either. People commonly add the "g" thinking mail.com is a typo.
Wonderful capture. We had them here too, but I wasn't aware that the phone or camera would pick up what the eye couldn't see. Bummer...I waited & waited, but couldn't "see" anything...lol My daughter said she got some photos though
A stunning heart warming summery… you absolutely do not look your age.

I have an app on my phone which alerts me to solar activity.
It said nothing yesterday, but I know shots were got around here :-)

That’s too bad Annie!
Ok
Hope you have luck. We tried but just too many low clouds. I’ll go out again before bed.
I didn’t see anything either, it was cloudy close to the ground but stars and meteor showers high above.
