Moonlit Shetland Aurora

Although the weather forecast was for complete cloud it actually cleared a bit enough to show an Aurora, The 94% moon didn't help but this was a strong Aurora, KP5 if you go by the alert but also a Red Alert


I nipped down to Sandsayre just a few mins away as i could see stars on leaving the house and i knew cloud was on its was in


It was already an orange Alert when i left and i could just about make out the Aurora with the eye but a quick photo comfirmed a lot of green showing 



Didn't see  anyone else around but alot of Aurora Hunters ventured out during the night


I like moonlight with the Aurora, it lights the foreground with a nice soft light so no need to light with a torch
