I've been keeping an eye on the excellent AuroraWatch app and had noticed some minor activity, but yesterday evening there was enough of an event to make it worthwhile going out into the cold night to see whether anything was visible.
A very faint aurora was there but, by the time I had gone indoors to collect the camera and fit it to the tripod, the lights had subsided and the sky was soon covered by cloud; and, although I stayed out for some time, they refused to clear.
As can be seen, the event continued for some time. It's the low point on the sunspot cycle and we have only had one recent amber event, but it's good to know that even the relatively weak events are visible from Golspie - clouds permitting.
