Aurora Australis

[CapturingTheNight]

Hi all,
Happy as the proverbial pig right now. About 3 hours ago from just south of Wagga Wagga. Second night in a row of aurora activity (have not had time to even look at the ones I did last night). Prior to last night I had never captured an aurora display before. Wish I was back in tas to get all those greens but still happy with this.

Congrats Greg! Persistance paid off mate. Agree with H, pink looks pretty darn good!

Stunning image. I really love the tree in the foreground.

Excellent image, Greg!

Love the colour and zodiacal light.

Cheers,
Alex

verrrry lovely!
I was wondering about the zodiacal, too and thought that light might be more a result of post processing? Given that the photo edges appear quite dark compared to the middle?
anyway, beautiful colors!

That's a beauty Greg, lucky capture and nice composition, love that tree ;) , the purples look lovely too.

I think I need a dedicated wider angle lens :question: :thumbsup:

:2thumbs: Great shot what a beauty! Another tick on the bucket list :thumbsup:

Were the lights obvious to the naked eye, or only so with the 30 sec exposure?

Lovely image, Greg!

[theodog]

Nice one Greg.:thumbsup:
Wish I was back in Tassy too. I left just over 1 week ago.
Maybe next time for both.

Lovely. I wouldn't be surprised see that one a calendar down the track.

[Deeno]

Lovely!
Would be happy just to witness an aurora.....

[pluto]

Wow, great shot! I'm so jealous!

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so much for all the great feedback everyone. I really appreciate it :D Got a heap of photos to go through from the last two nights. More images soonish. Need sleep now though.....

[CapturingTheNight]

Partial tick Carlos :D Still want to get those all sky ones. Iceland/Alaska/Canada/Scandinavia trip might be in order down the track.

Nothing noticeable to the naked eye.

[Rod771]

Wow!!! :eyepop: nevermind the green Greg, what you've got there is nothing but top shelf!

So inspiring.

[Octane]

Greg,

I'm interested in heading to Iceland next year...

Magnificent.

The best nightscape image so far this year!

Greg.

[gregbradley]

+1.

The greens are too overpowering, these subtle pinks, reds and yellows are much nicer.

Greg.

[stardust steve]

beautiful. You should be happy and proud. Very rewarding trip :thumbsup:

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so very much for that Rod :D

I would love to join you H, but unless I get a call from lotto or something, it currently would be outside of my budget. I WILL get there one day....

wow. Really? Thank you very much for that Greg :D I'm glad you think so.

:D

Thank you so much Steve :D
