Kintore! It comes and goes have seen lots of green and some really vivid red. Went out twice for half hour or so. I can see it from the back garden which is overlooked by a street light! but a mile up the road where it's pretty dark is much better. Tried taking pics but couldn't pick it up plus it was ruining my night vision. Go for a drive mike!

Looking in any particular direction Noel? I can't see anything from my place, too much Inverurie light.

Cheers
Mike

Went for a run in the car and parked up in the dark. Can see a faint glow in the north Noel, but no greens or reds, I guess I missed it. Sky is very clear tonight though :cool:

Dave was saying it was pretty cool in the Methlick area.

Cheers

Morven was a lovely backdrop for it all. Really rather nice.

There was a stunning photo in the papers taken by NASA showing what looked like an Aurora Crown on top of the earth.
