For those that don’t know, a large solar storm is occurring this weekend that may allow much of the US to see the northern lights. However, the forecast calls for clouds where I am, and most of the east coast. https://www.space.com/solar-storm-coronal-mass-ejections-mothers-day-weekend-storm-watch
This is what I was able to take a picture of after driving out into rural northern Oregon. Wasn’t this clear to the naked eye but you could still faintly see it and it showed up good on camera.
About the same outside the burbs in MN
Same :(
Exactly like this in VT
Similar in NH, but I haven’t processed the video from my good camera. The colors were brighter at 10:30-11 than later at 1:00.

That was me and the solar eclipse…
Sydney 2028! I’ll see you there.
Meanwhile, the North of England bucked the trend by being clear. The aurora was visible in town, despite
your directionslight pollution, but I still drove out to the country for an hour at 2am to get a better view.Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere:
South New Zealand- Aurora
North New Zealand- Aurora
Middle Zealand (where i am) - ☁️☁️☁️
Drove into VT since the forecast looked better and waited out the clouds, got a pretty good view after 2200. No major dancing of lights, but colorful streaks and of course the camera picked up way more than could be seen.
It’s been amazing here in British Columbia, Canada. And I’m right on the border.
