Thanks Karen. We looked for the lights, and saw this pink colour but didn't recognise it for what it was. Friends over in Finchley said they had a better view. We shall look again tonight (Saturday).

After reading Karen‘s post last night, I had a quick look online and various places seem to suggest that the camera can often see northern lights better than the human eye.

I read this too, Hugh.  There was some uber technical explanation that I didn't bother to read.  Certainly there have been some great photos.

Missed them last night but it's good to know there'll be a repeat next month :)

There’ll possibly be a repeat tonight apparently. All depends if there are some good slar flares an they head in this direction.

I missed them Friday having already gone to bed plus didn't realise that would be happening. So last night stayed up but couldn't see anything and gave up about 1am..

Where was this taken from, Karen? We seem to be looking towrds the north-east across the railway?
