Going to try and sneak out the house for better pictures without waking up my other half and toddler son! 

Pictures above taken on my IPhone 11 Pro Max.

Mission aborted - had to hang out the window instead. 

Very annoying as there is a wee beach at the bottom of my street which is in total darkness - would have got some good pictures! (Rather than bright lamp post lights reflecting off my window!)

Lol its a crappy Canon EOS 400d from 2010 that has done 132.900 clicks - I really need to get a new camera soon.

F5.6 800 ISO and 7 Seconds

I don't know much about camera's and i wished that i went for a DSLR now with the extra lens instead of this crappy sony,it is good through the day time but s**t at night,i am looking at investing on something better i think,photography is my next to none.

I have just been outside and i see nothing,maybe later they return?

Theoretically we should be seeing what most of Europe are seeing in our 2nd half...ie towards dawn

I`m definately stopping up

Just been out on my first ever shoot of these as I saw them from the bedroom window just before 11, so asked the gf if she minded me heading out instead of to sleep!

Drove 10 mins to a pitch black country road with a usable view to the north that I marked for possible lightning photos. Boy it was worth it! Very fun to shoot them, and lots of pics to process in the morning!

I usually head out around 130am and Set Up and they start cranking down here around 145am until 315am but it seems to be earlier further north

I`ll be checking from 2am ....In theory the NLC`s migrate around to the West approx 16° longitude over the night

( or 4 mins on a clockface)

[Paul Sherman]

This one was shot at 1120pm as it started to recede back.

With regards the settings I just play around from 200 to 1600 ISO and F3.5 to F6.0 and adjust the times from around 2 seconds upto 20 seconds but the 20 second ones are a bit grainy

And now it's disappating. I really need to remember to bring my small tripod home, and try and do a time lapse.

[marksp]

best I could do with phone.

[marksp]

must of been fab with better view point. Could sleep so came down stairs and as usual always pop out to check sky and wow great show.

 

also for those more knowledgable is that jupiter and saturn in the southern sky

[toggerob]

That was worth peeking outside at 2:30am for, saw the beginning of it just getting underway and didn't have a clue to just how bright and defined the NLCs actually got before the sunrise. Almost all of the northern horizon was full of them, including wisps overhead. Hopefully more of these evenings & early mornings to come in the week ahead.
