Awesome aurora tonight.

[Paul Haese]

Just witnessed the best aurora I have seen this cycle and the brightest I have ever seen. Very bright when it was at KP7. Like a silver green colour from Sugars beach. Heaps of data to go through now, all the while my scope at the observatory was collecting more data on an object I am imaging. Love automation.

Anyway I will post some shots later once I have gotten over this high. I cannot believe how bright it was.

The shots coming out of Tassie show some remarkable colours.

This part of Tassie unfortunately is socked in with light rain..... Bummer...

Rainy?! There's an understatement :D I've stepped out of the shower drier than I came back from the shops this afternoon :sadeyes:

Can auroras be grey and cover the whole sky? If so we've got a pretty awesome one here too ;)

Cheers
Steffen.

Great to hear Paul. :thumbsup:

Some lovely images coming through from Northern and Southern hemispheres. :)

Yep, it gave my wee all-sky cam quite a workout. Very beautiful.

Posted some images up that I did some preliminary work to but will do a reprocess later. See the images in the nightscapes section.

Hi Paul,

I caught sight of the aurora East of Esperance while fishing. I thought it may have been one but wasn't sure at the time. The skies out there were so clear as I have ever seen them and it was like I was literally floating in space every time I looked up. It feels good to know that it was an aurora and it was a rare event. Bloody cold though! Two sleeping bags, a jumper and swag and still freezing.
