Cathal
Oh Well done Cathal, they are supposed to be around for a couple of days, would love
to see them, looks like it was a good show :)Lovely.. I remember I saw youtube a guy did something like that BUT he also use the touch and went over to make sure all the light against the castle…it came out beautiful…
Nice. Well done Cathal.
I’m hoping a burst coincides with a weekend so I can make a trip to somewhere dark and elevated.
For anyone interested there is a good site http://www.donegalskies.com” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;. You can sign up for Aurora Alerts and you get 2/3day notice of activity. I just got one this evening (see below) of more activity expected on the 24th-25th as there was another mass ejection today.
Aurora Alert Update: 24th/25th January
Sunport 1402 which produced aurora displays over Ireland and Northern UK on Sunday night unlashed another powerful flare at 04:00 on the 23rd January. The associated coronal mass ejection (CME) blasted towards Earth is likely to deliver a glancing blow to the Earths magnetic field. Due to this there an increase possibility of viewing the aurora from Ireland and northern parts of the UK on the CME is expected to strike between the 24th/25th January. Stay tuned to Spaceweather.com, Softservenews.com/aurora for elevated Kp values and keep an eye out for clear skies. Kp values of 6 or greater should result in aurora displays over Ireland and northern parts of the UK but other factors are also involved.I was hoping you would be out for teh Northern Lights, Cathal.
Great shots, as usual.
thanks for replies guys
It’s a great site to see and photograph
We were up for a few nights with no luck
Standing in Malin head in a force 8 and driving rain is no fun
But we got something on sunday night so it was all worth it
Perhaps tonight or tomorrow night there might be another show so I’ll be up againCathal
It’s very cloudy down south so I don’t think there’s much chance to see it, even though would you care to share your setting in case we get chance on another night.

Not a problem Dave f2.8 30sec exposure and anything from 1600-3200 iso :shock:
a nifty fifty will let you get a lower iso or else a longer exposure like 4 mins
