Hi Brian,great photos,I don't know too much about the northern lights,but how often are they seen and when is the next time this will occur
Thanks, if only it were that easy to predict
Not seen very that often in Norfolk but it has been a great year so far for them in Scotland and especially places like Shetland.
This year and next probably going to be best for the next 10 years or so (some scientists will tell you why this is, something to do with 10 year solar cycles and CMEs or Coronal Mass Ejections).
There are a few good websites to keep an eye on to help you try and see it
Aurora Watch UK on Twitter
You can also get email alerts when there is activity, check out their website
This is a great map as it is about as real time as you are going to get and so far I have found it quite accurate.
Hope this helps you a bit.
Cheers
Brian
