After getting up at 4:30am and setting up at Culloden Moor (near Inverness, Scotland) by 5:30am we had to wait until just after 11:00am to record our first sightings. We even had to endure a very heavy period of rain about 10:30am. It was worth it though!

Image timings, from left to right, are 11:05:04, 11:05:58, and 11:15:35.

The images are back-to-front as they were viewed through a 114mm reflector with a 32mm Plossl.

Images were taken (afocal) using a Nikon Coolpix 5700 and cleaned up with Adobe Photoshop.

Times are in BST.
