That's a pretty impressive capture considering the surrounding light pollution! Didn't at all think they'd be that visible near houses/buildings etc

Quite hard to spot with naked eye, just some odd glow above trees, but with 20 seconds of ISO1600 they are very well visible :D

Last night it was KP3, strong solar wind stream from Coronal hole of the sun hit earth and in dark places those were visible quite well in south too.

Englishman spotted fireball with auroras above Shetland (I think that is way up North for you guys ;) ):
