A Solar Flare was directed towards the earth yesterday and everyone was geared up for a big Aurora
But as we all know it never works out as you think. this one has slow solar wind and didn't arrive until the early hour of today
Around 5.30 the colours were fantastic and a couple of early risers managed some photos, i was still in bed so missed it
Tuesday night arrived but very little activity and a lot of cloud. Although it could just be seen through the cloud it was not spectacular as some people expected.
That's solar weather for you, just the same as our weather and predictions are just that. All the newspapers had us down for major Aurora but failed to take into account the cloud
Anyway make sure you join Shetland Aurora Hunter on Facebook for the latest information and photo
Some green showing for a powerful Aurora, pity the cloud covered it
All these photos taken down at Sandsaye, in Sandwick
