Another large coronal hole released a high speed Earth facing stream of solar wind which impacted Friday just gone (1st of June 2018) which resulted in some minor geomagnetic activity.

I was lucky enough to capture some more images from my favourite spot just South of here in Tasmania.

This image was created stacking 10 x 30 second images I took, in sequence, from 7:50pm to 7:55pm - the Moon had just risen over North Bruny Island (to the right) as a series of Auroral Beams started to dance across the sky from SSE to SSW.

Whilst the Moon light does wash the display out slightly, it was still well and truly visible even to the naked eye.
