Just throwing in some really vague numbers and rough angles, I calculated by the seat of my pants that those clouds are somewhere over Aberdeen. Though you wouldn't see those particular clouds if you were there. Because of the necessary viewing angle you would instead see different ones farther North.

I stayed up last night long enough to catch the beginning of the display and looking at Stu's photo I did have the feeling of recognising a couple of the same bright features. I'm only about 100 miles SW of him so I reckon that's possible. Keep up the vigil Stu! I'm enjoying the photos even though I know that nothing can fully capture their breathtaking beauty.
