I was out last night trying to photograph the Milky Way with a 28mm f2.8 lens but no matter what I did I couldn't get focus (not even stopping down) but it was below zero here but the lens wasn't fogged/misted/iced up. I'll try it another night when I have gloves on.
I DID NOT however see any of this lovely glow you get but I think I'm probably too far east.

Hi Leo,
You are only 150km east of me and we are the same latitude. The red aurora is 200-400km high and thousands of km south of us. Lot's of great photos of the aurora taken even further east in the Blue Mountains, central and south coast etc etc. Most likely, you missed the flare up - 8:15pm-9:30pm when it was naked eye visible with colour. It spent a long time visible with night vision in monochrome. Pretty faint other times. I was on aurora watch from 6:15pm-11:15pm.
Cheers
Joe
