How to see the Northern Lights in Vancouver, Canada

I have been fortunate enough to see the northern lights quite a few times in my lifetime, usually further up north or from an airplane. However over the past 6 years I have been able to see them a few times now in Vancouver. So I wanted to share the tools that I use to be able to go and see them when they are out.
Here are a few links to the tools that I talked about in the video:
Aurora App - apps.apple.com/ca/app/my-auro... play.google.com/store/apps/de...
SpaceWeatherLive App - www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/a...
Aurora Watch Email Alerts - www.aurorawatch.ca/
Soft Serve News - cdn.softservenews.com/Aurora.htm
Thank you so much to Liron for letting me use some of his stunning timelapses of the Aurora over Lions Gate Bridge and in Vancouver! You can see more of his work here: www.lirongertsman.com/astroph...

Green aurora is mainly green on camera, eyes usually perceive it as whitish pearl

Fascinating, but honestly, I wish you would just get to the point. I struggled to hang in there. It took almost 4 minutes to get to anything useful.

question...i will heading up to Vancouver around late Sept. Would Whistler and Harrison be decent to spot the aurora?

[@kandykane2160]

[@mistyken]

@@kandykane2160 nope. it was pretty cloudy when we were up there so didn't manage to catch any Aurora.

Sand in the vaseline?
