sadly, even here, clouds and the moon lower the chances of visible northern lights.
not to mention the light pollution...

That's crazy. Great shots. The lights are so intense that even here in Missouri USA, we have a low chance of lights when looking north. And I can't remember that ever happening, so I'm going to try tomorrow night. It won't be anything like yours but whatever.
