Green Shetland Aurora

 We have had a good run of Aurora nights but the problem has been nearly a full moon

When ever we get cloud around it reflects any light pollution so the clearer the skies the better

Its always good to have a location in mind which is close by as the Aurora can fade quickly

Sandsayre is only a couple of mins away and providing its clear gives a wide open view looking north

I managed to get up to the top of Scousburgh hill although there was cloud around St Ninian's isle was still covered by the green stuff

Moonshine Shetland Aurora

 It has been a good run of Aurora in Shetland , six nights on the trot. The main problem with Monday was the moon

It was at 95% full which normally drowns out any Aurora, unless its big

Luck it was a KP6 which means its a strong Aurora and this beat the moon

I had a tour round the south mainland seeing noone else

It was clearer further up north, looking at the photos that came into Shetland Aurora Hunter on Facebook.

The Aurora always creates alot of interest and over this acyive period we have had 261 new folk join the group

Moonshine

Cloud kept coming and going, but i used this to good effect waiting for the moon to go behind a cloud before taking an Aurora photo
