The Aurora Borealis was captured over the hills of Rochdale on Sunday (6 March) night by Sarah Hall and Colin Campbell, Founders of Oldham and Rochdale Astronomy.

This was a particularly stunning display with green and red colour visible to the naked eye and picked up even better by the camera.

Below is a time lapse of the event created by Sarah and Colin.
