Living in Rogart, Sutherland, Scotland, where we have zero human light pollution..
Aurora's are easy seen from here
Some cold winter nights we get some really impressive Halos

Moonhalo and a Moon Corona with Venus not wanting to be left out. Venus Corona ☺️
At Muie, Sutherland 2nd Feb

Airglow Hell at Muie, Sutherland, Scotland
It does seem this Aurora season its bad 👎
Wasted Dark sky area in my view.

Barnard's Loop is still hidden by the Airglow up in Muie, Rogart Sutherland 🥹
This aurora season, I think the airglow has been way worse than previous seasons....could rockets be the cause 🤔

Lenticular clouds over 3hrs with the Aurora providing the backlight 😁
Around Rogart, Sutherland they're a common cloud, thanks to the mountains and Hills

Some nights, I can stay in my chair watching the Aurora 😂 real time video as the camera took it. (Tapo security camera)
1st Jan at Muie, Sutherland.
My Daughter got a treat watching this with me over the wall.

A camera to save me checking on the cloud situation every 5 mins, captures Meteors 😁
Nice meteor breaking up with a flash..💥 over Lairg, Sutherland

Airglow made the sky so grainy, Aurora just showing

Meteor rocking and rolling as it hit the atmosphere last night 🤗

Some nights I'm being watched and it's a little worrying 😟 Stags can be aggressive
@nightlights.bsky.social not like your soft Reindeer 🤣

My favourite effect the Aurora does is lighting up the mist, turning it green 💚
Over looking a part of Sutherland Where no one lives..
10/11/2024 back of camera shot as the aurora expanded, even shows the colour and the green mist.
14mm Nikon D810

2 photos that are not Aurora, but something I go and deliberately find...

Very special, natural moon light trick in the fog....

Lunar Fogbow 😁

What's a meteor (top 5)
What's a satellite (bottom 5)
"Pictures" always worked for me at school 🤭
It's not hard, especially as I've never seen a white meteor

You know me too well 😂 I was hoping, like I hope they're there when the moonrises
Fakery isn't my thing 😕

Sunrise at Muie,Sutherland this morning 10am 😂
Wonderful Sunspots without any filters (fog is a natural filter)
#Sunspots

(Don't ever point a lens at the sun without being 100% confident you're not going to burn your eyes)

2am and Orion Constellation is moving out of my worst sky for light pollution...Dornoch Cathedral and Tain street lights.
Awful Airglow, but A Geminid Meteor nearly crossed over Sirius (bottom left)

Airglow looking like there's an Oilspill in the sky 🙄
Even Andromeda Galaxy looks fuzzy.

Does anyone love Airglow 🤢
Trying it hardest to block the Aurora at Muie, Sutherland, Scotland last night (8/9th Dec)

1 night produces nearly everything the Aurora can do.
The odd thing was that I didn't leave the garden at Muie, Sutherland, Scotland, looking South 11/10/2024 (14mm)
Then last night's 5/6th Dec faint beams on my northern horizon, but it's still Aurora (88th)

"Aurora Bench" at Loch Fleet Sutherland, which was never photographed like this, until I posted it on Facebook a number of years ago 🤣
