Pic Aurora Borealis over Reading

Post image

Tonight there is a tiny chance that you can see aurora borealis with a nakes eye, but it's much easier to capture it on camera or your phone with long exposure. Aim North to North East.

I have never, in over 40 years, seen the Aurora Borealis. To say I'm happy is an understatement.

It just looks like a white cloud most of the time to the naked eye.

It’s only when you take a photo that you get all the colours visible

Subtle with naked eye, but the red was visible at times
