Thank you, The sun doesn’t start winding down from its 11 year cycle till this time next year so this winter has the potential to be even better than last Friday as it’s been proven to be most active at the end of the cycle although Fridays stats having been recorded now are said to be the strongest G5 storm since records began in the 1800s So stronger storms may happen but there are many variables that have to line up for us to see it starting with the cmes/flares actually coming directly to earth then the magnetic field has to be south at the right time (it more often is north) also Fridays event was classed as a canibal flare as several flares left the sun separately and the last one was bigger and faster thus catching up the other and totally engulfed them growing exponentially (hence why it’s called canibal) then of course you need. Cloudless night and no or little moon there are several other factors but I don’t fully understand them, so as you see it then becomes a one in a million chance of happening hence why you don’t see it like this, when magnetic field stays north only counties that get to see it are up in the Arctic or down in the Antarctic

Fabulous,  Monkey ... strange how the camera lens sees  more than the naked eye isn't it ... Glorious colours ...well done Sir ...

Thanks, To be honest there wasn’t much if any difference at its strongest, the stats where way of the measured charts  At one point I could look north south east west and directly up and the whole sky wherever I looked was a mass of colour

It's weird that the camera catches so much more than the naked eye isn't it ...  lovely  images  guys !!

The Aurora was so strong there wasn’t much difference between naked eye and camera between 23:00 and 01:00 it was truly amazing to see 

As the night progressed i was changing camera settings and also im getting better editing them. Herse 3 more these have had a lot of time fine tuning them

Stunning shots! It wasn't visible to the naked eye here in Essex, but I was driving back from London, and my wife phoned me to say that I should stop and have a look through my phone.

When I got home I joined her in the garden and got my camera out. Thought a fisheye would be good for getting a wide view... it was dying down by then though, I'd definitely missed the best of it.

Thank you it was truly amazing and at one point I could see with naked eye thru 360degrees and directly above, the whole sky was a show
