8-10-12 Aurora Australis from south of Pt Lincoln

Hi all, don't know really where these photos should be posted as aurora is terrestrial, but there are deep sky views included in the background. I guessed because the main object is meant to be the aurora, then the terrestrial section is where they are.

The activity went all night, but I only lasted to 10:30. It was too faint to see naked eye and had to up the ISO to high numbers and max exposure without streaking the stars.

24mm lens at f1.4, 10 second exposure and ISO 6400.

14mm Samyang at f2.8, 40 second exposure and ISO 6400
