Aurora October 08/09 2012

 The Northern Lights mad a spectacular return to our sky  on the night of  08/09 October. All these photos were taken between 19:45 and 22:30 at which point the clouds moved in and and it was time for me to get the kids home for bed. Please scroll down the images and take note of the one taken by my daughter Heather Sherman, it was her first attempt at photographing the Aurora, and I hate to say I think hers are better than mine.
