Sandwick Aurora

A clear night in between cloudy windy nights so I took a short trip over the hill to Sandsayre in Sandwick to see the Aurora 

The sky was mostly clear until a bank of cloud moved in , the moon also came out at 9.40pm

Light pollution from Cunningsburgh is always a problem from this site although its now a mix of LED and sodium lighting.



                        I wasn't the only one down at the beach as an otter appeared for a few mins .

I thought the moon at one side and Cunningsburgh lights with the Aurora in the middle provided a nice balance, although it would have been better without any artificial lighting













Sandlodge was nicely lit up by some car headlights, a better position here than full on as the lights from the house proved too much for the camera to handle




Shetland Aurora Hunter is doing well on facebook if you need up to-date information on the Aurora in Shetland
