Greg, what a beautiful, fantastic place! No wonder you want to view from up there. You are so much above a lot of the crud we view through at sea level. We have a mountain range that high (1,700m) to my north east but the highest point you can drive to is just over 900m. We viewed Halley & Hyakutake from up there, it certainly made a difference.

Just eye-balling it from the little map I posted on Colin Legg's thread I would say that your geo mag lat is close to -47, while mine is -46, so we see very similar aurorae. I will post the geographic coordinates to Bob Evans the head of the Aurora & Solar section so that he can convert them and see how close my guess is.

Cheers,

Ian
