I went outside a number of times last night but could see no sign of the lights in the sky from here in Auckland. Mind you, there’s a new block of town houses obscuring our view to the South. Perhaps I should have been a nimby after all.
@billbennett Nothing but the faintest red glow to the south of the city from Tawa and Porirua, so we missed it, too. Just the moon and stars as usual here.
@jackyan I'd expect Tawa to be south enough given the reports from elsewhere. There are people in and around Auckland who claim to have seen something.

Most modern cellphones are capable of capturing what the eyes can't.
Aurora were visible to the north during late dusk in Kapiti.
That said, the less obstruction on your southern horizon the better.
@zl2tod@jackyan Yeah, I no longer have a southern horizon, just a row of brightly lit town houses. When we moved in here I could see the Milky Way at night, that's less the case today.
