I wish I had a decent camera for nightscapes. But then again, I don't know where I'd find the time to take them - only if I automate my setup fully  |
Yes it looks to be a mix of both Rolf, that does not happen very often here but nice to capture.

How do you distinguish between airglow and aurora anyway?
If i'd taken that shot, i'd be thinking i'd got it slightly.

G3 storm expected tonight. It might be worth the drive. Moon will be around to after 1am, but if it gets up to kp7 at G3 levels it will be about 15-20 degrees above the horizon and will be picking up photographically. Time will tell.
I am planning on being on Granite island tonight with all my gear.
