No sign of Santa here, Eric. I think he took one look at the state of our house and took a sharp turn south to Yorkshire. I'm sure he'll collect the deer before xmas as he won't want them eaten. Just look on it as them stocking up their fuel reserves for xmas eve when they have to fly round the world delivering pressies!!

No point in Santa calling in Yorkshire....they average 0.7 presents / household. Hardly worth chimney scrambling. But just to show we are not all the same....I bought a present today. A whole one. :thumbsup:

I had an alert on my 'phone this evening for high Aurora likelihood so as soon as we had dinner we wrapped up and bundled into the car hoping to see our first Aurora display. Off to our favourite viewing location we sped. We sat for an hour but the show didn't materialise. We trundled through the lans to another location with a good Northerly vista but still nothing.  Although there was good visibility the sky was obscured by low cloud and it felt quite damp so I guess it dampened the display. Did you get anything Judith?

Too much cloud. Also the moon is too bright just now so your chances of seeing much are zip. You need darkness and clear skies or it's not worth trekking out. It's also hit or miss whether you'll see any movement in the aurora. Most of the time it's just a glow in the sky. If you're lucky you'll catch it moving but I've only seen that once.

Thank you Judith, you confirmed my suspicions. I took a look at your pix over the harbour and the Aurora seem to be behind the clouds, so I guess that explains it. The boys were quite disappointed. We are planning another little trip out this afternoon/evening, being the winter solstice today. At the moment it's forecast clear skies at sunset, so I want to try a time lapse of night falling over the hills. I am thinking of using the D300s, Nikkor 20mm @ f4, locked manual focus, Aperture priority, Auto ISO (limited to 1600), WB: sunshine and the intervalometer set to 1 exposure every 15 seconds (4 frames per minute). That should give me a fairly smooth speeded up video. Maybe point the D200 at the sunset... With the 18-105...
