...from Stirling, anyway.

Low, and it's part cloudy, but the sheets/waves were just becoming visible a few minutes ago.

Well, that didn't last very long.

Maybe worth looking again later.

Was pretty spectacular in Dingwall. Lasted until the clouds rolled in.

Aurora forecast is good for tonight too. Very exciting, especially after the big disappointment that was last weekend's coronal mass ejection. Sadly it's thick cloud where I am in Sweden, otherwise last night would have been the best show here in years.

Thanks for the tip. Where do you get your info for the forecast? AuroraWatch only alerts me as it’s happening. Been waiting years to view it and get some decent photos. Now seen it twice in as many days 😀

And also a myriad of Facebook groups.

Ta. Someone mentioned the Glendale App to me last night.

I would say Space Weather is the best. You get more out of it if you learn a little bit about the different indicators of geomagnetic activity though (e.g. you need a high KP, but if you aren't very far north it also helps if BZ is very negative).

It's hit KP7 today. This is the best storm in years it seems. And it's still cloudy here...

Thanks. I’ve been watching AuroraWatch all day with anticipation. But looks like it’s pretty quiet now. Got the Glendale App now as well. I live pretty far north and can see them for my bedroom window. Helps with deciding whether it’s worth venturing out.

No joy in Strathpeffer last night, I was either too late or too early and just got clouds

Thankyou, obviously its a bit of a simple camera trick and although impressive last night in reality its a lot more subdued.
