Just got home from my 12 hour shift and straight out again to capture this.Looks like i'll be back out again because the display seems to be intensifying.

Had been waiting on this from you Stewart, nice one mate. Clouded out here in the N, I keep checking though .

Clear Skies

Great Picture and clear evidence that the sun is hotting up, pardon the pun.

Lets hope the lights head south at some point!

[laser_jock99]

Nice- hope it brightens up for us southerners later tonight!

[Rossco72]

a nicely composed shot, nice activity too

[saturn5]

It did intensify,i'm just in from take 2.Peaked at 11.40 with a few beams of light,quite a good red in the upper atmosphere too.Manged to get a few better shots.Will post tomorrow night,a bit tired now,12 hours work and 3 hours aurora hunting is enough for one day.

Brilliant Stewart! Glad you had the chance to get a few shots. Best get your head down! 12 hour shifts, thats a long day at work!

It's been cloudy around here for some time so I haven't seen the auroras yet. What a wonderful capture you have there Stewart! Simply perfect!

Thanks very much for your comments,the anticipation of a spectacular aurora is the real excitement.This display wasnt as good as the predictions indicated,however the aurora i posted at the start of November had a lower KP prediction but turned out to be a much brighter and more active display.You just never know for sure how good they are going to be,thats probably why i can sit quite happily for hours in the freezing cold and wind,just waiting.

There are plenty of dissapointments when mother nature doesnt do the "enchore"but you just think to yourself that there's always the next time.

In that pespect its a bit like waiting for meteor showers,some turn out to be great,others are not but it doesnt stop us going out,just incase the next one is the biggy.

Thanks Carla,work has put an end to photography for a while.Hate shifts but gotta pay those bills i suppose.

Fantastic image, been visiting Caithness for the last 15 years and never seen anything like that. I really must time it better.
