Luckily, it showed up Fairly low level activity, but very cool after many failed attempts from mainland Oz.

2 of the nights were from the southern tip of the Tasman Peninsular. In retrospect, I think that was a bit far south/east. Clouds scoot around the south of Tas and head north just missing or clipping the peninsular. Next time I'll try further inland, south of Hobart.
Nice Colin
What is the straight line heading straight up from the left of Scorpius in the first picture ?
There is a small dint in the cloud and it is to the right of it near the horizon.
Cheers
