I'm over the moon that I got to see them this evening. I knew they were a possibility this evening, but previous possible viewings in my area had been overcast, or they hadn't appeared. Plus, I had something to attend till after 9. When I got done with that, I saw texts from my wife that she had seen them from our neighborhood. That's wild, as we had discussed taking a trip to Norway, or some other place, to see them, as they were on our bucket list. I was fearful that such a trip would be about as successful as my trip to see the total eclipse this past April, when it ended up being totally overcast where I was until just after totality.

Serious question.
Are you seeing them with the naked eye?
Here in NW Ohio, we can’t. But, when we open our phone camera, we can.
We take a picture and enjoy them this way.
Naked eye initially and then Using the phone. Started just after sunset to be able to be seen with just your eyes.

The free ones I use are GoSkywatch and Skyview Lite. I also use PhotoPils but that you pay for. Of the free ones I like GoSkywatch
Yep, Skyview Lite is what I use as well. I forgot the "Lite" above.
