The times are given in U.T. and Standard Time. I worked them out by determining the southern meridian at the time of your photos.

All looks good to me Ian. Thanks for that. I'm not really up on the terminology of what I was seeing with my own eyes. You mentioned 'rays' in your report. I saw what I think are two different things on the night. Earlier on (and in this image) there were what looks like closely spaced vertical stripes in the sky, but they were moving very fast across the sky and they didn't appear to be extending to the horizon. They are the whitish streaks you can see in this image. Later on once it got darker I could see large, what I would call rays extending up from the horizon and not moving much during the exposures.

Cheers

Greg
