I guess it's the altitude?!

This was a very brief outburst which only lasted a couple of minutes just after 7pm Carl, after that it settled down to what you captured from Flinders. The cleaner air at altitude could have a bit of an effect. At sea level and along the coast you may have things like light sea mist to image through.
For my own curiosity I crunched some numbers and for me at about 1600 meters above sea level I get a horizon line about 142km away (this all assumes that the earth is completely round and the horizon is at sea level though.........which it isn't), whereas at say 10m above sea level the horizon line is 11.3 km away. So in effect by going to that altitude I am bringing my view to an equivalent view at about Taralgon directly to the south (assuming that Taralgon is at sea level....... which it isn't)
