  Bacon: takes pretty sky photo from living room window using phone camera.

  Me: goes outside, waits until optimal time, puts phone camera in night mode with long exposure and captures these…

    Same except mine was just bright with light pollution. I even went to a nearby park and still nothing. Maybe my timing was wrong or bad location. I will just have to live vicariously through other people’s photos.

    Philosophical side note: we all live in the same world but some of us get auroras and some of us don’t. Hmmm.

    in your phone’s defense, I used a camera at f/2, ISO 400, 1.6 seconds exposure. My phone does not have night mode and performed even worse.
