Because the infamous @lisamelton just boosted this, I will remind people of a few tips to spot the #aurora:
- Don't expect to see colors as vibrant as you've seen in pictures. Cameras are better at capturing aurora than your eyes.
- Get out of town and away from light pollution if you can. It's basically impossible to see if there's too much light.
- Use your smartphone camera if you aren't sure if you're seeing it. Use Night Mode (or whatever it's called) to take a multi-second exposure.
