If you're able, take a trip to Northern Norway between October and March, and unless you're very unlucky, you'll be in for a big surprise!
Source: I launch rockets into the northern lights so that scientists can study them.

Just need to use your pro mode and set shutter speed to at least 5 or 6 seconds or more

Silly plants growing on top of a volcano. It's like those silly humans building beachfront property in Miami!
Brilliant picture though.

So I'm just some pleb who has never seen the northern lights... I do think though, that if I were to see them, they would never look as bright and as colourful as basically every photo seems to portray them. I could be wrong, but I'd be very surprised if they looked like this photo with the naked eye.

That was one the best I've seen. It was fast, bright and a lot of red. Don't normally see that much color in it.

I was recently in Norway and saw the northern lights two nights in a row but I definitely don't think it was a strong night. The colors showed up well in cameras doing a long exposure, but it absolutely wasn't bright enough to see colors with your eyes. It just could've been a gray cloud.
How visible were the colors to the eyes?

I took a short video of it from West Glacier. I lived in Kenai, Kodiak, and Barrow and for some reason, the best lights I've ever seen are in Juneau (April last year and Sunday). Weird luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhL7h6DZkc8

It depends how hard the particles are hitting the earth’s magnetic field, from what I understand.
