Northern Lights tonight

[RagnarRocks]

Just in case anyone's interested there's a rather wonderful display of the Northern Lights going on outside at the moment 21.28

Just been watching it on and off for over 2 hrs - really nice to see

[RagnarRocks]

Quite an impressive display tonight shame I can't take any pics of them

I have been out a few times and no show, if there was a fine display, how do you take a photo without having to read two hundred pages of instructions on your camera?

[RagnarRocks]

Well I can tell you I have no clue with my camera and iPad and IPhone worse than useless

Where are you ? I'm in East Clyth and can't see any :(

It seemed to cover half the visible sky for about 20 minutes - amazing

Agreed !

To those of you on computers in Caithness now - switch off and go outside!

Message below was posted on my FB page about 10 mins ago... and I'm off outside again in 2 minutes..

Been outside for the past half hour watching the Northern Lights. This is the best display I've seen in years. Sitting in silence - apart from the owls crying every 5 minutes - is a fantastic experience. It reminds me why I've been in Caithness for 31 of the last 34 years. Loving it !

It has taken me almost a decade to see them. Sometimes I have thought that I might have seen them, but was never sure. Now I am sure! Brilliant. Beautiful! Still going strong above Keiss at 22:00 tHURSDAY

They are getting bigger as the night goes on apparently they can be seen quite a way down the country at the moment
