I’ve seen some pictures of the sky online but I’m not convinced they’re all real. Lol.

That's amazing. I wish I had a good view from my house, but I went outside and looked all around and couldn't find anything.

It was surreal. Remember how different it looked during the eclipse?

No, I didn't see that one either. My track record isn't good with these things. lol

Point your camera north and it will pick up the light better than your eyes.

You could vaguely make it out about an hr ago. It looks way better on a camera though. Truly beautiful. A bucket list item for me and I didn't even have to go Iceland to see it

Hasn’t really thought about that, but you’re right.

If you have a night mode it might make it look even better.

That's what I had to do. It picked up lines on regular, and trees block my view also
