Here is an old pic I found taken on 17th November 1989 near Hall, near Canberra. 50mm lens, Pentax SLR, f/2, 40 seconds. I think it was with 1000ASA colour film.
The red is evident with some sheeting? as well as some green to the lower left.
Beautiful! I remember seeing the Aurora from Canberra some time in the late '90s (I must have missed the '89 one).
I was out in my front yard with my trusty Astroscan when I noticed it some time around midnight. I went next door to see if my neighbour was still awake because I knew he'd be interested, but there was no response to my quiet knocking, so I assumed he was asleep. I spent the next hour or so just watching it in awe.
The next day I learned that my neighbour spent the an hour hunting around his house with a machete, trying to find the intruder he had heard!!
I don't recall seeing green, just the red glow, which didn't look as bright as the photo. I've attached the results from astrometry.net to the original post.
