The weather forecast for last night was for around 50% cloud so we took a risk and headed over to Bigton
It's wasn't good as rain set in, but five mins later it had stopped. I stepped out into a windy night around Force 4-5 so not really a good night for photography doing long exposures. The photo above just shows how the wind distorts the stars and makes them into teardrops
Stars started to show and I wasn't going to miss out
Looking north it was virtually full cloud but it did start to clear and a bright satellite appeared
With the cloud clearing for 5 mins a green patch of the Aurora showed. It wasn't even showing any alert , below a KP2 if that's what you use to determine the strength
Below the Aurora and to the left, two bright orange lights of Oil rigs may be about 50 miles away.
So an Aurora tick, better than nothing but again it was just good to be under the stars. I had missed out on the stronger Auroras of the past few nights due to black ice everywhere, so any green is a good green (only visible to camera
