Beautiful Aberdeenshire Aurora Borealis 21 pics
Aberdeenshire Aurora Borealis, also known as Northern Lights, caught by residents in Peterhead at the Ugie beach, Mintlaw at Aden county park, Macduff at Tarlair, over Mormond Hill, Fraserburgh, near Fetterangus and over Pennan.
IMPORTANT
The lights are not always easy to see with the naked eye, a camera will pick up colour more easily, and you may only see grey or pale green “wispy” cloud.
What is the best way to see the northern lights?
The best way to see the northern lights is to head north. Most of the molecular activity that causes the northern lights happens near the Earth’s magnetic poles.
For that reason, the Arctic region is an ideal location for hunting the aurora. In fact, some of the best light shows happen near or above the northern coastline of Scotland.
What month is best to see the Northern Lights?
October through to mid-March offer the darkest skies and longer evenings for maximum sky-gazing. The strongest Aurora tend to appear between 9pm and 2am, though the best sightings often occur between 11pm and midnight.
