Aurora 8th Oct 2012

Hello Everyone

Well this Aurora took us by suprise!
Last night the K-index was at level 5 when I checked the space weather pages, the K-Wing page predicted the K-index was going to hit 7~8.
So again I placed the Camera on the back Veranda and there was colour in the photo. I drove down to my usual haunt and started imaging.
I took two hours worth of photos but the cloud made it's usual appearence.
Anyway this is what I got..the image has been processed alittle carelessly but it was Midnight when I did it.
