Unless you want to actually go into the Observatory its free, its in the middle of the Keilder Forest, sign posted from Keilder Castle. Or you could just park in one of the many car parks around the lake edge and photograph from there. I think that the dam would be a good place to start with its clear view of the northern sky.

I think he means you need top have a clear view of the whole sky to the north, so a clear horizon would be advantageous. Near a lake, you would be best to be on the southern shore to see the north sky, with potential for reflection shots into the bargain.

On BBC Look North Weather last week there were two superb Northern Lights pictures taken looking across the causeway at Holy Island.
Unfortunately they don't have them on the BBC Gallery but the colour of the sky was reflected in the wet sand making an amazing shot.
