West Burton Power Station
For several hours this afternoon, my AuroraWatch app had been pinging red alerts. I've not seen the nT disturbance levels that high in a while so I took a chance and drove a few miles from home in the hope of catching Aurora Borealis over West Burton Power Station in Nottinghamshire.
So as per usual as soon as I even think about shooting an Aurora sky, the damn thing disappears with indecent haste.
So undeterred, I set about creating a star trail image, taking advantage of the rare clear sky.
This is 180 images of 15 seconds each at ISO 640 all stacked in Photoshop. Not a hint of Aurora to be seen. Damn. Again.
