Aurora incoming - but where

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.
