Yeah mate pretty flash all right!
Dunno about the zodiacal light coz it doesnt look like a cone shaped light to me.
What it is a orange coloured light thats horizontal and not always there in the vids.
It looks like orange street lights shining off a thin cloud layer near the ground and some times is faint and other times is quiet bright.
But definitely a orange layer not a yellow cone going up in to the sky.
Hey I wanted to go boarding at Ruapehu but I never got the chance but I did drive past there one night and man it is black as the inside of a cow thats for sure!
How could it be darker than Paranal?
Isn't Paranal and those Chile sites the darkest place in the world?
But yea Ruapehu is dark and so are some places in the south island to like around Mt John obsy at Tekapo.
It is like outback dark down there --- shame about the blardy cold tho!!!!
