Same. I live somewhere where the chance of me ever seeing it here are basically nill, and the odds of me planning a trip to go see it elsewhere where it happens and the weather works out for it and everything else aligns to make it possible is not nill, but probably not far from.

Is it extra bright due yo the solar flares?

Woah

You got a really good shot, how'd you do that?

Wish I could say it was something fancy. This was just an iPhone photo. It was really bright.

There's so much light pollution where I was that you could only see a small amount with your eyes
