There is a small dint in the cloud and it is to the right of it near the horizon.

Thanks Ron. I think it's an aurora curtain. That section had the best activity of all 3 nights.

Thanks Lester. The trick is to avoid the Hobart light dome. So south, but not too far south to pick up the cloud scooting along the base of Tassie. Good luck and hope the Sun fires up for you. Look forward to seeing your pics.

Thanks Graeme. Most of the shots were done at 14-20mm, 5dmkII, iso3200, f/2.8, 30s.

I'm heading back in Autumn hopefully. I'll base myself in the same general area as last time, which was south of Hobart along the Channel Hwy and over on Bruny Island I think.
Thanks Greg. Yeah, I love the colours. Just brings the whole shot to life. I'm hooked, but don't know when I'll be back. Good luck!

Is there an external link that I can use to do a FB post so all my Tasmanian friends can see them.
The last time I pointed them at one of your aurora pics they were out enthusiastically searching the skies :-) Be nice to give them an idea of what to look for.
Thx
Trevor
