3 shot pano from last nights aurora display.Wanted to get the moon in shot which caused me no end of grief.

This was taken from Castlehill Heritage site,the headland on the horizon is Dunnet Head,mainland Britains most northerly point.

Nice- might have been a good show without the moon light?

Most definitely,there was a lot of activity under the main arc but you just couldnt pick it up visually most of the time.

Occasionally you could make out a second arc and a few shimmering "wavy curtain" effect movements .The best

time was around 6pm when the moon was low,it was also behind thick low cloud which kept the skies darker for a little bit longer.

This was the first shot of the evening taken frm Thurso harbour,we then went further afield on a little mini tour of locations.

Great pics. Typically I missed the aurora again, was in Caithness 2 weeks ago on my twice yearly visit. had 3 clear nights out of the 4 I was there so shouldnt complain too much!

There can't be many aurora shots with a full moon in the frame so well worth the effort - great stuff.

You're making us southerners jealous again Stewart!

Love these shots. I am entranced by the aurora and would love to live in an area that had displays such as these.
