https://www.reddit.com/r/spaceporn/comments/1co442c/noaa_just_issued_the_severe_g4_level_geomagnetic/ - Friday Night’s Aurora Forecast - if you’re north of the red line on this map, you may be able to see the waves of aurora borealis on this map.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/world-hit-geomagnetic-storm-chaos-32777801 - there’s not a map I can find for where the Northern Lights will be visible in upper Europe/Asia, or where the internet is likely to be affected by the geomagnetic storm activity. But if you have SkyLink internet, you’ll probably already have noticed patchy service.

Yay! For once it's pretty clear today so maybe they'll actually be visible tonight! (also helps that there's a New Moon)

Turns out our wires are crossed re the Moon phase, but it's still only a Waxing Crescent, so not much to worry about
