Thought I'd post another pic from the March 17 Aurora Australis.
Later on that night a roll cloud formed off the coast (Contos WA) and lingered for awhile, before rolling over and clouding out. This is a frame from an all night timelapse overlooking a rock pool, just before it smeared out and covered the view.
That's stunning Colin, we're these visible naked eye? r too!
I agree these are beautiful, as ourkind has asked are these or are there any in Australia visible with the naked eye ?? , if they are i would go & see them, very nice photo & a timelaps would be fantastic

Carlos/Phil, it was visible as a faint white glow at that stage. Earlier on the curtains were more visible and the brightest ones a faint orange. The roll cloud was visible as a dark shape out to sea.
The timelapse is almost done. I had some camera issues...one fogged over half way through and another stopped writing to card at frame 27. I restarted the 2nd one later but the intervalometer died. Not good timing! Fortunately a 3rd got the whole display and stayed free of dew. Just working out how to splice together the footage I got.
I just wondered if you could check out the attached report before I send it off to Bob Evans and post any comments for changes here.
The times are in U.T. and your local standard time. I got these by determining the southern meridian from your photos and going from there so they will be within ten or fifteen minutes.
Ian, just loading up the video now. It's not the final version, but does contain the entire night from 1 camera. I'll password protect for internal viewing only. You should be able to line up the times with the bursts seen in the video.
