First NLC from Rousay

About this image

A faint and subtle NLC display on Rousay - night is just too light at the moment.

Inset shows magnified view and some curves enhancement, but was tricky to get much out.

Mark Philips' picture is much better than mine, but similar structures visible.

Maybe I would be better to use a shot telephoto rather than the wide-angle lens.

Good to hear they are coming back...

Last night (Thu 15) was a much better display from Edinburgh, hopefully for you too?

Sadly clouded out last night Mark.
