An image of a night sky with the colourful Aurora above a silhouetted landscape. Aberdeenshire, Scotland
I went out to try and get a look at the PANNSTARS comet this morning a couple of hours before the sun rose. Unfortunately a low bank of cloud blocked the view. Fortunately, there was a bit of Aurora activity #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #Aurora

The Moon - 98% Waning. Aberdeenshire, Scotland
The moon tonight - low in the sky just after it had risen. The blood orange colour is due to its position in the lower atmosphere which gives the orange hue and also a blurriness. As it rises the moon goes paler and also sharper to the eye. 98% waning #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #Lunar
