Hamron Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 This was taken from Unst, Fri 29th March. Lasted 40 seconds before returning to a dull glow. Definitely the best I've ever seen http://i.imgur.com/Zq0Ac2S.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 ^ What can I say Hamron, " incredible and fantastic " you've got a winner there, the reflections on Bluemull Sound completes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyumpi Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 This was taken from Unst, Fri 29th March. Lasted 40 seconds before returning to a dull glow. Definitely the best I've ever seen Magnificent! Well done Hamron.I witnessed most of that 40 seconds as weel, almost on the stroke of 11pm? Looked up in the middle of changing a lens and WOW! I've never seen so much happen in the sky so quickly. It hasn't been a great winter for Auroras but your image captures the very best of it.

Hamiltonian Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wow!Hamron, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a more strikingly beautiful photograph. Is it ok to pinch it for my computer wallpaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamron Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Magnificent! Well done Hamron.I witnessed most of that 40 seconds as weel, almost on the stroke of 11pm? Looked up in the middle of changing a lens and WOW! I've never seen so much happen in the sky so quickly. It hasn't been a great winter for Auroras but your image captures the very best of it. Yep, definitely the same one, and I'm happy to hear I wasn't the only one that witnessed it (my mum and girlfriend narrowly missed it after heading back inside). I too was shocked to see it so bright and fast moving, I've only ever seen a dull and slow moving glow before. @Hamiltonian, absolutely. Higher-res version can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/EBXdgHL.jpg And here's a panorama from the same spot, which I think shows PanStarrs comet and Andromeda: http://i.imgur.com/dJr8izC.jpg I have another shot of the first half of the display which I will post later.

Hector's House Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Absolutely stunning. Agree with Stilldellin that the reflection on the water really makes the image. The panorama is a cracker too - I never got to see the comet even with binoculars. Thanks for posting them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Awesome pictures I was able to see the comet when it was close the the Andromeda galaxy. Never caught it earlier when it was east... but north @1am did the trick, with binoculars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetstorm Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great aurora photo, looking forward to seeing one myself soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Anyone get a picture of Saturn, last couple of days? Closest to Earth for ages, south close to moon and spica. I have 10x50 binoculars but sadly was not enough to see the rings, but definietly orange and a little bit oval... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Any pics yet of the 3 planet conjunction in the NNW following the sunset? Plus, nice big moon out there AND a storm level auarora forceast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I know there is a CfDS Officer on Shetland, from the Tronda area. Has there been an active campaign? Does anyone know, I am after a bit of info for a campaign south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
