Clear skies and good Aurora

 

Finally a clear sky after weeks of cloud, gales and rain. This coincided with an Aurora which are now getting more regular as we progress to solar maximum

Headed down to Bigton early and picked  up the Aurora showing to the north

It was good to see the Milky Way above the Aurora

It was a totally dark night for a change with the Moon not due to show until the early hours

Good to see Orion as well

The Aurora seat, the best in Shetland
