An Aurora run

 

On the 4 November a very powerful aurora showed, just a pity about the cloud

It was so strong that the whole sky lit up behind the cloud

It wasn't until i went down to St Ninians that the colour started to show in the gaps. It was an ideal night to be out, mild, still and no moon

St Ninian's isle was beautifully lit by the aurora

The aurora was even viewable to the south, not a normal occurrence.(above)

Coming up on the last few posts, some Aurora nights in Shetland over the past months.

It was great to get out again even though the Aurora was covered by cloud

After the gales it was a very calm night, just ideal for photography.

I start a Night Sky photography course for learnshetland on Monday so good preparation. A couple of places left if you want to come and join in
