There is no point in gilding a lily! I agree, however, when I left home with the express intent to make that photo, I didn't realise there was snow still on the fells and I didn't know I had an aurora until I processed the images back home.  Perhaps I will revert to single image or very short trails. That way I might get a better aurora effect because with the stacked images they tend to swamp one another. Thanks for the feedback. I may revisit the location when the snow has gone and take some more startrail exposures, perhaps a slightly higher viewpoint if possible to make a better separation between the Western shore and the top of the pier, they are rather too close for my liking.

Or you could do a stack and mask the high level area where the star trails are. Have you tried the various layer blending options in Photoshop (Multiply/Difference/Lighten/Darken/Burn). These are really useful when doing these type of things.

Having missed a good night last night, I popped out to have a look but although there is a glow in the sky, I don't feel like getting frozen for that, there is no moon so there won't be any chance of usable ambient light to illuminate a subject structure to make the aurora a nice background. To me although the aurora is nice, once you seen a few it's a bit lacking in interest in itself, a bit like star trails, what's needed is a nice subject with the aurora or star trails in the background. That calls for the moon and that's set at 8pm plus it's waning about 4% at the moment so it won't illuminate diddly! Maybe tomorrow...

Amber alert for tonight on the aurora front, Robert (and anyone else who's interested). Amber means they're expecting a big display. Unfortunately, it's pretty cloudy where I am so no chance unless the sky miraculously clears. Glendale Skye Auroras34 mins ยท AURORA TONIGHT A severe geomagnetic substorm is in progress following a CME impact last night. It is highly likely that aurora will be photographable over the whole UK as soon as it gets dark. There is potential for this to be one of the best shows of the year for those with clear sky. https://www.glendaleskye.com/aurora-alerts/
