For those that don't know, a large solar storm is occurring this weekend that may allow much of the US to see the northern lights. However, the forecast calls for clouds where I am, and most of the east coast. https://www.space.com/solar-storm-coronal-mass-ejections-mothers-day-weekend-storm-watch

This is what I was able to take a picture of after driving out into rural northern Oregon. Wasn't this clear to the naked eye but you could still faintly see it and it showed up good on camera.

Similar in NH, but I haven’t processed the video from my good camera. The colors were brighter at 10:30-11 than later at 1:00.

Same ish in the UK, (12h before this post), being outside made a difference so don't watch it behind glass. Light pollution was definitely the biggest factor to visibility.
