Aurora over Scotland (1 file)

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 The Ley au77521jhp Dawn approach active lights display arc red purple nitrogen rays Scotland May 1990 taken on the Harestone Road mostly by The Ley farm entrance tree where there was a useful lorry pull in on a sharp corner so made for safe parking. Taken on the early morning of the 1st May at 02.56hrs BST is one of the many displays in early 1990, a decade which proved to be an extremely productive one for Aurora displays and photography. During the photographing of this display I ran out of film, 3 rolls, so had to return home for fresh stocks-a gap of about 30 mins when I am sure I missed some stunning moments; a mistake not to be repeated and this sequence, 775 was on my return around 02.40hrs at the Ley Tree using Fuji RSP 35mm slide film rated at 1600asa as against RHP 400asa film developed in this case at my local Lab in Aberdeen for 1600asa-pushed 2 stops. They were generally exposed around 20secs which from experience I had settled on as about the best combination of film, exposure time and with a 28mm or 24mm f2.8 wide angle lens, at maximum aperture, so these are much brighter and more colour saturated although slightly more visual than would be seen with the human eye. What cannot be recorded is the amount of movement of the rays especially when tracking right to left. In some of the photos there is a hint of purple evidence of nitrogen gas being excited as against the more common occurrence of red and green oxygen gas. In these later stage photos around half midnight a further very powerful arc developed requiring moving between the right of the Ley tree and just to the left of it with the telephone pole as an occasional focus point. In the latter stages of this display the increasing dawn light around 3.00am started to overwhelm the Aurora display giving the very pink hue as against red oxygen or purple nitrogen gas colours. It was also rather beautiful to see this happening as the increasing dawn light overwhelmed the Aurora display as Aurora was after all the Goddess of the Dawn.

This is taken looking East of North from Crooktree with Torphins on lower right as the NLC display expanded and more pronounced waves forming and 25 miles west of Aberdeen in North East Scotland, best show so far in 2021 on the 27th June. Taken at 23.56 UT using a D700 Nikon DSLR with a Tokina SD, 70mm, f8, ISO 640 for 4 sec. It was a perfect night with little wind and although this was the last of my watching the display continued for some time more.

Deeside-Partial-Eclipse-qax9428jhp Partial Solar Annular Eclipse Sun Moon Silhouette Crescent bite cloudy Scotland Deeside on the 10th June, 2021 over Aberdeenshire in North East Scotland near Kincardine O’Neil on Royal Deeside. There was a major cloud problem but luckily not all at the crucial moment. This is one of the first photos taken and shows the eclipse underway with the moon moving from the right and was taken at 09.56hrs UT. The maximum effect was about as is seen, with the next substantial partial eclipse being in 2026 and a total one in 2090. The peak of the display was around 10am UT but was obscured by cloud.
