Anyone in Europe seeing Auroras?

Yes. On Friday night the aurora was very strong and it ran from horizon to horizon N-S where I was up near Alnwick. Brighter than the milky way and visible in a still slightly light sky with a thin crescent moon.
I couldn't see any colour in it but it was in moving ribbons. Alas my best camera for taking deep sky time exposures was out of battery :(
https://www.theguardian.com/science/gallery/2024/may/11/northern-lights-dazzle-the-uk-and-europe-in-picturesI haven't seen one that bright for over two decades. I missed two similar ones last month and the month before visible from where I live. Luck of the draw whether it is clear or cloudy. I have never seen one that reached so far south and remained bright all the way.
A few friends have good photos of it. It was seen from the entire UK and down as far as parts of Germany (and Hokkaido in Japan).
