From my driveway this morning apologies if the quality isn't the best!
Woke up to this a bit ago
This Aurora happened several days on October 6 before the big CME arrived on October 10th 2024. We are looking toward the southern and southwestern horizon. This substorm's arc is much further south than it appears, probably between Vík and the Faroe Islands. My friend from Hirtshals, Denmark has the same shot but from the south looking north (same time) and it's at a similar distance to the horizon as ours. The reds were extraordinarily vivid to the naked eye and the display probably lasted a good 25 minutes from beginning to end. Still one of my favourites of all times!
