Get your telescope out. We’re crossing the Lyrid meteor stream from now until April 26. You can expect to see 10-20 meteors per hour on the peak morning. There's a chance you could be surprised and experience raining meteors at a rate of up to 100 per hour. Wooo.
I think the meteor showers are better by eye because you see quite a few out of the corner of your eye. Looking at a comet is OK with a telescope though.
Have you see the Northern Lights recently?

No, not lately, I've seen it a few times but only when the solar flares are active and huge.
I remember on my birthday in 2008-09 not sure which I went camping in the new forest, clearest sky ever and meteor shower went on for hours, was on psychedelics too, was great.
The best way to look at them is laying flat on your back on the ground.
