Northern lights · caught by the sky cameras
Northern lights album
Every ten minutes after dark the site looks at the colour sky cameras for aurora green and purple. When it sees them, the picture is kept here with the time and the Kp. Nothing is picked by hand, so a few may be the moon, a lamp or clouds lit by a town.
No northern lights caught yet. The first night with an aurora will appear here by itself.
