This week has been very disappointing firstly because of the amount of cloud and rain that has blocked out the Aurora
I managed to get out on Sunday with the weather forecast indicating part clear skies, i only got a glimmer of the Aurora in a slim band over Bigton.
The other problem has been that the large surges have occurred during the day, even a purple alert but no good for watchers as its too light.
Nights are drawing out and its getting later when its dark but March has always been a good month to see the Mirrie dancers but the moon is also getting bigger so creating more light pollution
So the ideal night would be
> very active Aurora
> clear skies
> no wind
> new Moon
> reasonable time of night
> time to go out an experience the aurora
A lot of folk have been getting a 3-4 year reminder of events of Facebook, so join us at Shetland Aurora Hunter.
