Details:
Another weekend, another epic aurora, maybe not as big as last Saturday night, but bright enough to compete with the waning moon, and for once the skies were completely clear over inland Aberdeenshire. On the down side, it was bitterly cold with temperatures below minus 6 Celsius, so I wasn’t able to stay out the entire night, and by the time I got back my tripods were thick with rime ice. The first active burst was early in the evening before moonrise, with some bright reds showing up in the images, along with a faint sub-auroral arc which must have extended almost overhead. There was a bit of a lull between around 1900 and 2100 UTC, but the best was still to come, with a bright rayed band for a time before 2200 UTC, and the display continued on and off right through until the early hours, by which time I was starting to rime up myself. Photos taken at 1754, 2125, 2217 and 0143 UTC 1st/2nd December 2023.
