I may have slightly gone a bit batshit crazy when the sky did this at Lake Aviemore last night. This is a fisheye lens image during the height of the display. Seriously. WOAH!

Where / How do people find out about solar activity level?

Someone mentioned it was meant to be G4.

Is this published somewhere?

If the sky is dark where you are GO OUT NOW AND WATCH AN AMAZING AURORA!!! Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere get out now! Clouds marred the view before dawn at Hoopers Inlet in Dunedin NZ but the aurora was still incredible!

Nice views from Mount Isobel and the whatever-the-name cute waterfall on the track. Worth the drive to Hanmer Springs (well, the town itself worth it ❤️).
