Best display of the Aurora (Northern Lights) in years!

Seeing the Northern Lights in Scotland isn't particularly unusual but, a recent solar storm produced one of the best displays in several decades. This is a quick video showcasing some of the photographs I took on the night. Hope you like them!

Fantastic video Pete, really liked the inclusion of the sunspot at the start!! I almost feel like I was hallucinating the pictures moving at times! :-)

Thanks for watching Luke. Looking back I really wish I had made a timelapse but I was too busy watching the show to even think about doing that!

The best northern lights ive seen was in the early 80s up in Tobermory ,my mom woke me up at 1.30ish and we watched them for about 2.5 to 3 hours ,ive never seen them that good ever again ,had some pretty good ones in 2017 ,was out viewing mars ,and seen the northern lights, but they only ladted about 30 minutes, and have not had clear skys when they been out :(

The last display that I saw this good was in the late 1980's (actually probably better truth be told). Just hope it isn't that long until the next great light show!

Fantastic - great stuff, Pete. Absolutely bonkers night, and a beautiful set of images - nice one. Now where to begin editing all this?!

[@petesastrophotography]

Thanks Paul. Still got a lot to learn taking night shots but glad I got something, still regret not trying a timelapse though. Definitely an experience I won't forget for a long time, the last time I can recall the aurora like that was probably 30 years ago. Anyway, thanks for watching and really looking forward to seeing your video as I know I'll be a good one🙂

Awesome Pete! Can't believe I was away for all this action, it did reach as far as Cyprus, but I wasn't even there either 😞

Thanks for watching Dave. Pity you missed it as it was quite the spectacle!
