Aurora Exhibition- Shetland goes to Hong Kong

 It was good to have a photo accepted into the `Exhibition for Arts of the Aurora' in Hong Kong last weekend. It was organised by the Aurora Association

Its the one to the botton right, taken down at St Ninian's isle in Shetland a few years ago.

Hundreds of people saw the exhibition and was well publised 

At our end, it was covered by the Shetland Times and it was good to talk about how Shetland Aurora Hunter (Facebook ) has grown to 5600 members

Warmer Aurora Glow

A few nights ago the sky started to clear, the wind had dropped and there was a possible Aurora starting.

I headed over to the west side to Bigton only to find that the cloud had started to roll in. I could just about make the Aurora out behind a small bank of cloud

It was always going to be hard for the Aurora to show against a 93% moon which had started to rise but not quiet showing where I stood

The Aurora was only at KP2 so not very strong but any Aurora is a good Aurora. At least the stars and Milky Way was showing.

Aurora Hunting is always better in September/ April as its a lot warmer.

The Night Sky Photography course is now full and I am looking forward to meeting everyone. But to keep up to-date join Shetland Aurora Hunter on facebook.
