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

@stormhour.bsky.social @davidbflower.bsky.social guess it's not aurora hunting tonight 🙄

Midnight entertainment at Muie, Sutherland, Scotland for 'Cogie'

Only Nature's light pollution 😆

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
#meteor
Airglow made the sky so grainy, Aurora just showing

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

That's so far south 😱 I was sat looking at the Aurora Arc on my southern horizon, from my door step, which was so wrong

Moon Halo with a couple of Moondogs 19/20th Dec over Rogart,Sutherland, Scotland. Wonderful #Scotspine and #Mars in the Halo band

Thanks Adrien. These stood still for a good 10mins without moving...probably thinking what's that daft bugger upto 🙈

Your certainly in the southern parts of America. Hopefully the sun has a few moments whilst looking at earth, then so many other people get a treat 😁

I was getting worried I'd forgotten what aurora looked like 😱🤣
18/19th Dec 17.35 90th since summer solstice.

They're one of Nature's wonderful things, I never get tired of seeing them as everyone is different

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

I didn't want to see the milkyway anyway 🙄
Nature's light pollution at its finest

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 😁

Where's the rainbow or MoonDog 🤔 all I'm seeing is a 22° Lunar Halo

Seems he shoots everything. 🙄

My neighbour will have it shot. Shoots anything Stags, 2 foxes last week

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
#meteorshower #meteor #satellite #flaring

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

I'm waiting for the Trump/Elon love in, to fail. It's going to be 'Simpsons' greatest episode 🤣

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)

#geminids #orion #meteor

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

Thanks Paul, I'm also super annoying when people claim to see Meteors, when they're seeing various shitalites 😂

Man alive Harlan you've turned into Sweary Man 🤣
I've had 3 nights of no stars 🙄
