The vivid photo images that you see are taken using long exposures, and the 'flapping curtain' effect is really speeded-up time-lapse cine.
I've only ever seen one, and I was at sea. Being a radio ham, I have 'heard' aurora, because we bounce VHF signals off them just for fun.
Enjoy your holiday :-)Comment

I've seen the aurora several times. The first was the most spectacular, it was so bright it woke me as the bedroom was filled with light even through curtains. Going outside to have a look was breathtaking.Comment

He was overjoyed when I said I'd seen it two or three times in Yorkshire.Comment
