    Im an astrophotographer. The green tinge to the sky is called airglow. Basically, the night sky is never truly dark. Cosmic rays striking the atmosphere, collisions between the atoms that make up the atmosphere, and the changes in atoms and photons in the atmosphere cause a slight glow in the sky. In laymans terms, the Earth's atmosphere is glow in the dark. We just dont see it because the light that we create obscures it. You need to be under a sky that is essentially untouched by light pollution to see it.
    Unfortunate you've not got to see the aurora. Keep trying mate. Its truly a wonderful sight. As the great Carl Sagan once said, astronomy is a humbling and character building experience.
    Safe travels, and clear skies.
