The other night it was a reasonable clear sky but we had visitors and they only left as the Orange Aurora alert came out. Knowing the stats were on the increase i quickly headed down to Sandsayre at Leebitton, Shetland
Its only 5 mins away, my other preferred locations are a good 15 mins away and as cloud was rolling in i didn't want to chance missing the Aurora
Looking north from the jetty towards the light polluted Cunningsburgh
Waves came crashing over the jetty and i just dodged out of the way in time.
The lights became brighter and started to dance for a short time before levelling off.

It was good to meet everyone who started the Night Sky photography course the following day, a good range of experience
