Quite a spectacular sight last night in Donegal.
The northern lights put on quite a show by all accounts, although I missed it

That shot was actually taken from south Donegal. Out over the lake at Mountcharles.
It is spectacular sight from the north coast, up in north Inishowen, in @jivers and at @denbo neck of the woods.
it’s visible here at my place but light pollution obscures it somewhat as Lettetkenny/Derry is North of me.

Has been the best northern lights for decades , I seem to remember them being good when I was a child but put it down to darker skies back then. Last night was superb once again.
