Must've been around nine o'clock when I decided to check my Glendale Aurora app, it was getting pretty green, there are a few icons to let you know what's going on, all generated by us logging in and describing the state of the sky where we are, Cloudy, Clear etc.
There was quite a lot of green ticks, not as many as the screenshot here but enough to tell me that something was going on.
When we stepped outside it wasn't immediately obvious that it had started but, on camera, I could see the faint lines appearing. Look above the house lights, see the streak reaching up into the sky? This was just before 10 o'clock.
First faint signs of Aurora
Aurora becoming more visible as the light fades
The full display developed quite quickly until there was an amazingly bright display shifting and moving across the horizon.
Bear in mind that to our naked eye this showed as lighter areas across the sky, shifting and moving, the colours weren't as visible as the camera can detect, had this been later and darker we may well have seen more colour. So I captured a shot every 30 seconds on the camera and wrapped them up in this short time-lapse video.
A last shot from that brightest part of the night. Sadly I had the wrong lens on so missed how high some of those rays were reaching.
