As a lot of you know, I'm from near Canberra.
After hearing that the aurora was a G3/Kp=6 event, I decided to drive down the south coast of NSW for a few hours. There was a place I had always wanted to go to and I managed to get there, while dodging wombats and kangaroos. Despite being sick and unwell, I braved the elements (wind/cold) and stood there capturing stuff. I'm paying for it today as I feel like death warmed up.
It looks like airglow, but, it is actually aurora as several other people from interstate got the same colour at the same time.
The Eta Carinae Nebula to the left, the Southern Pleiades, the Lambda Centauri Nebula, the Coalsack, the Southern Cross and the Pointers all on the left-middle. And, Venus setting in the west with the head of Scorpius above her.
