"You can't see the Northern Lights with your naked eye, you just see a smoky grey cloud, but the [camera] sensor picks them up.Mr Scott said he had seen the lights before but the spectacle had been particularly impressive for the past couple of years and he implored others to try snapping them. "It can be done with an iPhone on a tripod. Long exposure, 20 or 30 seconds, anyone can do it," he added.BBC Yorkshire climate correspondent Paul Hudson said: "The vast majority of our region were again disappointed last night by extensive cloud cover.
"But a lucky few, mainly along the Yorkshire coast, were treated to what still is regarded as one of the most impressive and exciting natural phenomena - the Aurora Borealis - or Northern Lights."It's really quite unusual to have such sightings so far south, so unfortunately it may be quite some time before we get the opportunity to see it again."
