Sorry, I'm having trouble getting the images down to 200KB - back soon.

After the excitement of the previous two nights of amazing aurora activity, the 17th missed due to heavy cloud over all of Tasmania, and the 18th due to a bad call on my part, off I trecked.
And the aurora did NOT disappoint me, the photos are all in focus (a real bonus!) and I even saw - The Blob! (The blob seems to be some curtain like activity at 45 deg to the man in event - I saw it to the west of the aurora which as south, but a tad more westerly than usual. It's appeared for the last few nights, a totally new phenomena for us in Tassie.)
I consider myself a very fortunate little photographer.
All with Canon 60D, Tamron 20-35 f2.8, all shot at f 2.8/30secs, ISO 1250-2000
Edited with CaptureOne7Pro only, so some are crooked. I may pretty them up a bit more later.
I also have a video at Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/122815285) - Its my first go at t and for some reason it sticks a bit - just keep your mouse on the corner of the screen and wiggle it a bit, it does restart and play to the end.

Looking forward to the pics Odille. The video is beautiful, takes me back to childhood in Finland with the Northern Lights keeping us up many many nights.
