Spiggie Orion and a wee Aurora

Orion showing well at Bigton

Lots of stars and a small glow of the Aurora

A few Satellites passing over Shetland, these are Russian

Weak Shetland Aurora

Yesterday there was an inter planetary shock around 3.30pm which sparked off a weak Aurora initially

The Aurora started early around 18hrs but as usual there was plenty of cloud around

I headed down to Leebitton and Sandsayre in Sandwick

Just small patches of green showing

Lots of people now having outside lights on throughout the night, no reason for it really.

More light pollution this time at Sandlodge, always difficult to get a photo

At least it was good to see Orion
