bluto Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) It's relatively unusual. Best seen a lot further north. I've only seen it when up the hills beyond inverness. Now I'm in London and there's no chance. Caused by solar flare activity interacting with our outer layers like the ozone. I get emails from Lancaster ( I think) university informing me of when it's likely to be seen. I used to put an alert on here, in the olden days... Wonder if THAT thread still exists.... My envy is genuine. My wummin wants to go to an ice palace in northern Finland where you sleep in a glass room and be alerted if it starts up! If suggested a compromise of John o groats. But Glenburn is starting to sound groovy.... Eta this winter has been forecast as expected to have max solar activity. There are lots of Travel Cos organising trips.

I always found that the problem was, the e-mail alerts came in too bloody late ! I would open my e-mails in morn to be told of the wonderful display the night before !

Callum Gilhooley Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 It really is amazing to see. I had the good fortune to see a fairly decent display one night on my way back down to Dumfries, near Ae forest. Very dark sky, clear night . Ideal conditions. Not quite Arctic Circle but still v .cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
