The moon obviously had a huge impact, reducing the visibility of the aurora from their full potential, but it was just great to get some aurora photo's again! It's been a long time. Also a very pleasant evening to be out photographing them.
The photo doesn't show the full story really, I've had trouble stacking the images without washing out the less persistent areas of aurora with brightly moonlight sky. Flicking between the 15 exposures it's obvious there is more aurora there than easily seen in this photo but I just haven't managed to get it to jump out at you in this photo. I think some extensive masking work is required, I probably won't spend the time doing it.
A time lapse I might do, but I only have 15 exposures with the aurora, so it would make for a very short time lapse
Hi Roger - WOW!
Thanks for sharing these southern lights!
My pleasure

I tend to think we (at Perth's lattitude) get to see less colour variation than those in the northern hemisphere ... predomenantly pink I find, little green. Last night there was a hint of green but I think the green was more easily washed out by the moon. I think it all comes down to the brightness, but I'm no expert

See Spaceweather site.
Yes, looking forward to another crack at it tomorrow night Thanks
Awesome Roger,
I've been keeping an eye out but have'nt seen anything visually yet. Did you manage to see it visually?
Will need to get the camera out quick smart......cloudy tonight though...
Cheers

Has anyone on the east coast seen the aurora recently? (realise sydney or brissy is optimistic, but wondering if they've been bright lately)
I've been surprised at the lack of photo's on IIS so maybe not . There's been a handful posted on other lists from Tassy etc but nothing higher that I can recall.
