Thanks for the comments, you can subscribe to Ian Musgrave & Peta O'Donohue <reynella@mira.net>u to receive alerts for the aurora and other celestial events this one was not expected, lucky us!
This is my first here in tassie however this is the latest alert from Ian: [A massive M 2.5 class solar flare and coronal mass ejection happened at 4 pm yesterday. The CME is only partly Earth directed, so high latitudes (eg Tasmania, Southern New Zealand) have a *possibility* of aurora on late night 8th June or early morning 9th (even possibly evening of the 9th).
Rain last night however we are hoping the sky clears tonight, will post some more pic if skies clear, cheers Graham
