If you can’t see the aurora in person, then a webcam view might be the next best thing. Here you’ll find a list of all the webcams that are set up to capture the aurora, sorted by north to south. Check the Ovation aurora map below to see approximately where they are located in relation to the aurora. The shadow on that map also shows you where it is currently dark.
While live video streams are the best to watch, all sky images can be useful to check as well.
Keep in mind that some webcams will shut off in the summer when there is too much daylight.
