It\u2019s most important to have a northern horizon that\u2019s free from artificial light. If you can\u2019t escape an urban area, ensure there are no bright lights in your field of view, particularly to the north, where displays are most likely.<\/p>\n<p>Many displays of aurora, particularly from cities where light pollution dampens their brightness, are, in practice, \u201cphotographic aurora,\u201d which show up much better in a photo than in reality.
