Aurora Australis from Mount Buffalo National Park Australia, 17th of March, 2013
Apart from a few little timelapse sequences which I will probably release as part of a much larger timelapse project later in the year, this will be my last upload from this spectacular aurora display about three weeks ago. Bring on the next one.

Thank you very much for the great feedback Laurie, Pete, Greg and Carlos :D

Stunning, Greg.

I notice that the sky is a little softer in this image. Is that noise reduction?

Doesn't detract from the spectacle for me; just curious. :)

Wow, How's the colors of the Aurora, Nice work. :thumbsup:
All you lucky buggers catching these Aurora's.

Thank you very much gents :D

Ross: It is a two image panorama.

H: I wanted to highlight the aurora so I reduced the stars a bit so that only the brighter ones stood out. This is probably the main reason for the apparent softness.
