Tips for seeing the northern lights (especially for weaker solar storms)

  • Get far away from city lights.
  • Look north.
  • Use a camera — set for long exposure.
  • Bring patience. The northern lights are not constant. They move and flow and the intensity of how well you can see them is constantly changing.
  • Just know that seeing the northern lights is not a guarantee.
