Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights displays photographed taken over Aberdeeshire in Scotland since 1989 covering some 350 events with arc, rays, coronas with a wide rnage of shapes and colours
Aurora-Borealis-wsc5053jhp Northern Lights Scotland February winter green display Torphins Grampian Aberdeenshire taken on the evening of 26th February, 2023 at Crooktree, 25 miles west of Aberdeen, at 21.57hrsUT and was indicated by the magnetometer readings on AuroraWatch. Viewed over Torphins village to the East the display is on the wane and the red has disappeared leaving patches of green activity. Although cloud was forecast earlier the relatively low grade display happened before the cloud arrived. This photograph was taken with a Nikon D700 full frame DSLR using a 28mm-70mm Tokina SD F3.5 lens at f5.6 aperture at 28mm focal length, ISO setting of 3200 for 6 seconds. The increased ISO sensitivity of modern DSLR’s allows for shorter exposures circa 10 sec average times giving more accurate recordings of these moving events.
