Solar Storm hits

 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

Just a hint of an Aurora but plenty of stars to photograph

Looking west towards Leebitton in Sandwick
