The sky is crystal clear for the first time since they've been active, but the Moon is still up so the sky is a little bit too light to see the Northern Lights with bare eyes. I've heard it said that you can take pictures with your phone, but that's not quite accurate. You can put your phone on camera and hold it up to the sky and what you see is quite active and spectacular.
A friend of ours was able to use her newer iphone to capture it somewhat by turning the light off, but it's still not quite as good as just looking at the screen.
It should be a lot better about an hour or so after the Moon goes down, but I doubt I will get up that late. We enjoyed what we saw with the aid of the phones though.
The activity goes all the way up to straight overhead.
