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
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?
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 was last night
Sorry, doh!
Looks like the Northern Lights are starting again tonight - Thursday 27th Feb

great display over Thurso/Scrabster just now
Brilliant display at this moment 20.35 Thursday
It seemed to cover half the visible sky for about 20 minutes - amazing
There appears top be 2 threads on this - my post on the other thread follows...
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
Been out watching for a good while with two friends up visiting from Cumbria, absolutely brilliant here on outskirts of Stornoway.
Was a fantastic display tonite brilliant at Brough, first time ive ever seen them and ive lived here all my life :-)
Not a patch on what your seeing up there, but gobsmacked I've seen 'em in the middle of a city!
Manchester with all its light pollution....

What time do they switch the lights on? ;-)
Just after Tesco closes,I think.
