Aurora from Rousay - 2024 May 3

About this image

A really big disturbance to the magnetic field earlier in the day did not bode well for a display this night, but some nice activity visible once the sky got nearly dark. First visible around midnight UT, but with sunrise visibly approaching at about 01:15 UT any more activity was drowned out.

The bright sky and haze made it all a bit tricky.
