Biggest Aurora levels this year!

Hello Everyone

Well the Solar storm, which is happening right now at a K-index of 7 ~

~ produced an excellent light show. As usual after a 10 day heat wave in Victoria consisting of clear skies the timing of the cool change and cloud cover wasn't apperciated .

My back Veranda has been replaced so I placed the good old Pentax on the tripod outside and just let it snap away. I took around 400~500 images with roughy 10% of them with reasonable skies.

Here is an image I just finished processing in PS CS3

Just added a Star Trail Version

As usual the standard 30 second sub @ iso3200 using the 14mm Samyang lens

Regards Paul.
