      I am so impressed ... This is truly one of the best I've ever seen ..
      and I've been photographing the Aurora for years, but have NEVER managed to capture such an extensive and well defined ray structure so perfectly! I'm humbled and inspired ... Thank You !!

      Thank you Les and thank you David for your compliments, this was one of the few big auroras I've seen since moving to Scotland more than 20 years ago. I will never tire of watching the aurora's shapes, forms and movements.
      I have to admit that my photographs of the aurora are hit-and-miss affairs - but I was pleased with getting the rays into a single frame in this one!

      I'm looking forward to the next solar maximum in a few years . . .

      - Thank you.
      I had my fingers crossed for the past 3 nights but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer before seeing another display like this over Scotland - Bring it on!
