Moon & Venus

Only had a short time to set up before the clouds rolled in again

 The Moon with earth shine and Venus showed really well

 Earth Shine showing well in these last two

The aurora has showed for 10 nights this month but with lock down and that it showed about 1am not been able to get any photos.

You can see some on facebook at Shetland Aurora Hunter

Shetland Aurora glow

We are  nearly coming to an end of the aurora season but we still have a few chance to see it, providing we can view from home with the Coronavirus restrictions

So far this month we have had three views of the Aurora although its getting later on in the evening when its visible with the growing daylight

This was taken down at Sandsayre, Sandwick, Shetland before the travel restrictions

It was good to see the colours and the rays which lasted a good 1/2 hour before fading.

You always need to go somewhere close by as it can get active  and then fade very quick

The last one was down at Bigton Church on the westside on the same night but two years earlier
