 Andrew_WsM Amazing not getting anything like that from here. Great to see these though from down our latitude. Dark skies will help - sadly not so much from here.

 Raindrops Yes! Reborn from the ashes

 Thunderspotter This looks like a seldom in a lifetime event for us down south. I've been playing a lot of VR recently and your Aurora dog had me going for a bit!  Awesome photos

[Metwatch]

Back home now in the middle of the pretty bad light pollution and long exposure on my Samsung still shows this at 1:13am, madness!

Edit: 1:19 another burst now

 kumquat Yes it's pretty amazing to see, Ian Fergusson has posted a few great photos from his location in North Somerset - https://www.instagram.com/fergieweather_bbc/

Is it just tonight or will there be other opportunities this weekend?

 weatherobsuk Great call

[kumquat]

 Andrew_WsM I've heard tomorrow night is also a possibility but not up with the latest details.

300+ images later and I'm finally out of battery for the M50ii. Hopefully the electric and PC still works for when I get round to sorting through them all.

It really is hard to comprehend. This might be one of the most documented natural events in modern day Britain, and what makes this event even more unique compared to ones 20/40 years ago is the advancement of camera technology so that millions can capture it with just a click of a button.

30 second exposure on each, taken looking North towards Portsmouth

For being effectively in middle of London with shocking light pollution I could not believe what my eyes well mostly the camera saw, but it was still there. We have experienced a historic night make no doubt. So wonderful to see so many out too and sharing the wonder.

Absolutely beautiful colours earlier this evening. What a super experience! I have seen weak aurora in Iceland, and Norfolk, but this is amazing to see here in Suffolk.

As it was at night I didn't realise that I had a dirty lens, but it makes it look like there are night time clouds, and to be honest I don't care at all as I love what I saw and the images I got (here are a few straight out of A7iii camera with wide angle lens, only watermark added)

Well pleased to have witnessed this spectacular display tonight here in NW Eryri Snowdonia

Seems I'm living in the only place not to see anything tonight, really frustrating.

I think it’s firing up again?
