Don't know if there's a spot for Auroras on SolarChat, but here's a location limited view of an Aurora last night.

Oh - Thank you - I'll bear it in mind. There's been a few this season, hopefully a few more before the Summer twilight sets in. One last night was a mere whimper.

That's lovely!

I'd thought about using a similar setup for Iceland travels, so nice to see how yours comes out.
