Getting more difficult to capture the aurora at this time of year as full darkness lasts less than 3 hours, and the clouds are a pain. Last night at Huna with an appearance by a Lyrids meteor. Setting moon behind the clouds.

Milky Way at Stemster, north Scotland

Late night aurora chasing between clouds and rain, north of Scotland

Having a good scratch

A scrolling panorama of the milky way arch from Nybster, north Scotland last night.

Sunrise this morning

A bit of aurora action tonight in the north of Scotland as the clouds start to move in from the west

Headed out last night to capture the milkyway but clouds obscured an otherwise bonnie view at Latherwheel, north Scotland

A wander up west to my favourite mountain. The craggy west face of Ben Loyal from the side of the Kyle.

Ben Hope from the west side of the loch, north Sutherland, Scotland

Oyster catchers out and about

Clouds, rain, hail and wind but a couple of breaks for the aurora on the north coast of Scotland

Caught in Garvault traffic today 😉 North Sutherland, Scotland

A first tonight, with aurora in the rain for a wee whiley. Also got soaked to the knees by a wave surge coming up the ramp ;-) Dunnet Head, north coast of Scotland

The gap in the clouds only lasted about 45 mins last night, a few more from the aurora chase near the far north coast of Scotland

Managed a short break in the clouds, Forss north coast of Scotland

Noss Head lighthouse below the milky way, far north east Scotland

Janetstown back garden aurora, far north of Scotland

North coast of Scotland, Thurso is the main town

A bity of a show at Thurso golf club just as the moon was rising.

Moon and starlight at Loch Calder, north Scotland

The road to the aurora and the milkyway

A rather tame aurora but great to see the stars after weeks of constant cloud cover in the north of Scotland.

First sign of skies with a bit of colour for a fair whiley

Sea stirred up at Latheronwheel, Caithness

Lybster light getting a wash down today

Colours visible but obviously much less vibrant than the camera can capture

Sleepyhead ;-)

Reds and greens were visible but obviously more subdued
