Camera Tips

🕐Check cameras around geomagnetic midnight (22:00–01:00 local time) for peak activity
☁️Dark camera images don't mean no aurora — clouds block the view even if aurora is active
📸Webcam images are often long-exposure — aurora appears brighter on camera than to the naked eye
🔴Red aurora in cameras is often invisible to the naked eye — cameras capture wavelengths eyes can't
