David Proudfoot @djpthurso.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Unfortunately the forecasted aurora came to nothing but always something in the night sky. A sporadic meteor (not associated with a know meteor shower) over a moon lit Brough Bay. A faint moonbow and part of a Starlink train. 130

David Proudfoot @djpthurso.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Only one wee break in the clouds in the north of Scotland, annoying when the clear skies earlier showed sunspots including a shoe print on the left ;-) Knackered for the meteors later. 061

David Proudfoot @djpthurso.bsky.social · 25/06/2026An unusually lit sky early this morning, in the far north of Scotland, with the sunlight hitting the clouds despite the sun being 8 degrees below the horizon. It did help subdue the memories of the football result. 1223
