Smoo cave , Durness , Scotland. Surprised the iPhone xr managed a stable long exposure.
Aurora season should have recommenced for you? Been some stunning displays in scotland this autumn.From a few Septembers ago:
Early-morning walk, in local Park in late-October last year - the 'lighting & darkness' on the tree suggested a "Boo" for Halloween.
The Auroras displays usually take place from September though April, but I prefer the warmer night temperatures of September, plus the lack of snow and ice at the local lakes. March is my second favorite, since by then winters aren't as cold as the temperatures encountered from November through February.
This year I missed a couple off opportunities to take photos of the Auroras perhaps two weeks ago when some of the displays were around Kp5 and 6
As for September this year I didn't take ay photos of the Auroras.I usually check the local weather forecast to make sure that there won't be heavy cloud covers, and then the Auroras forecast at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) to get an idea how great the solar flares have been, and finally the indicators at the US NOAA (a, and b below):
a. UAF (Universal Time)
Aurora Forecast | Geophysical Institute
Forecasts of auroral activity, updated daily.
b. The NOAA website link is found in the UAF webpage. Just click on the box that shows a globe at the right and of the page under the heading, Space Weather Prediction Center. Then click on the globe again so see an expanded view of the Auroras around the globe. Universal Time is used on both, but I would prefer to have these websites showing the actual time zone of each region around the world, since I am only interested on the time in Alaska.

Just saw this little guy as I was walking through a garden. Apparently call the irrigation control box home. (Relax, it is a non-venomous snake.)
Slightly zoomed shot of one I posted a few days back. This time without the lens flare.
