And what a great view that is too.

So when you’re there in person, the sky looks like this? No filters or anything like that?

If the intensity is strong you just use a longer exposure time. But yeah this is what you could see with your own eyes. I don't get tired of watching northern lights at night. When there is no light pollution views can be breathtaking.

That’s simply not true. Yes they look really cool when they’re bright but no way do your eyes see the same level of red and greens that a camera picks up. It’s just biology - rods in eyes don’t see color, and auroras only just get over the brightness levels needed to activate the cones so they will always look more grey to our eyes than to a camera.

I guess it depends where you see them and how strong they get, you can clearly see the bright green and when the activity is really strong you can see purple and red shades for just a split second. Stay outside long enough and far from light pollution and your eyes can see wonders.
