Re: AMAZING SKIES
Something I have always wanted to see and I have often wondered if there is any truth in the song "The Northern lights of old Aberdeen". Can they really be seen from Aberdeen and if so are they any good?

Re: AMAZING SKIES
Mmmmmm from Aberdeen no idea, I'm 32 mls north of Abdn, I do remember when a teenager most of my street came out to view an amazing light scene looking further north, no one could say what it was but it was amazing to see & never seen it again since.
I guess to see it best we would all have to travel to Norway...mmmm come to think of it I've already been but never saw the Nothern Lights

Re: AMAZING SKIES
Conditions have to be just right but I remember a week or so ago they said on TV that the AB would be visible from the north of Scotland. I would love to see it especially when it is really wild

Re: AMAZING SKIES
I have not deleted your double post Grandad else my post wont make sense
You should have up to 30 minutes to delete a post and 1 Hour to edit your post, though if someone posts after your post then you wont get the option to delete, you can then report you double post with the report button, when you report a post there is a drop down menu, just select duplicate post from the selection and then click submit, a moderator will then be alerted to the post.

Re: AMAZING SKIES
I wouldn't worry too much about double posts folks, i usually trawl through the topics and delete any that I see.
Re: AMAZING SKIES
It's truly amazing, all due to a solar flare and the resultant geomagnetic activity. you can follow the activity here

Almost as high as last night
And this aurora sky cam shows the activity.......breathtaking.

Re: AMAZING SKIES
I've experienced the Northern Lights when I worked in the far north of Canada years ago. Really really 'eerie' in an extremely beautiful way. Didn't get any photos way back when but they are definitely something to see.

As the solar storm hits earth let's all sing a chorus of " baby it's geomagnetically charged outside"
