Sandwick Aurora

We have been blessed by a good number of Aurora nights, long may they continue
Down at Sandsayre in Sandwick it was another very still night, it seems we may be getting more nights like this in winter
It was good to see rays and a good green arc on a night without the moon. 
Still light pollution from Cunningsburgh (Line of lights) and a dome of light from Lerwick, both reflecting off the cloud

More cloud coming in but still plenty of green showing
