Shetland- Aurora Purple Alert

Only just back from a meal when a Red Alert came in, that's two in a row

We quickly gather our equipment and headed down to Sandsaye. There was a lot more cloud as Purple alert came in

Certain the west looked black but there was some breaks in the cloud to the east. The Aurora was higher and less colourful than last night but still great to see

Shetland- colourful Red Alert

Apart from windy conditions it was a perfect night, no moon and a very active aurora

We headed out on an Orange Alert whjich quickly changed to Red and 10 mins later back to Orange

It was a colourful aurora, quickly changing in structure and colour. No surprise as we head towards Solar Maximum

You can always tell its a big one as the aurora headed all the way east close to Sandlodge in Sandwick

 Back home later but well worth it. Many more photos from the night on Shetland Aurora Hunter on Facebook
