Another CME arrived at Earth on Friday May the 13th - it was stunning to watch! One of the strongest I've seen. I have also never seen the sky as red as it was in my images afterwards, I actually thought I'd messed up my settings, but it was there! They call it SAR or Stable Aurora Red - it was so extensive even my ultra wide at 15mm (110 degree FOV) couldn't fit it all in...

Got a bit artistic with this image, cropped in (which I don't like doing, defeats the purpose of an ultra wide!) but it came out nice enough.

This was 30 second exposure at ISO3200 wide open at f/2.8 using a Nikon D750 and through a Tamron 15-30mm lense.

I was on my way down to my favourite viewing spot to set up but lady Aurora started dancing though my windscreen! So I pulled over on the side of the road and started shooting, this shot was taken about 5 minutes away from Tinderbox boat ramp in Southern Tasmania.

From all reports, she was naked eye and clearly visible from Victoria maybe even parts of NSW!!!
