I heard that there was going to be a big electromagnetic storm caused by a solar prominence, so found the darkest south facing beach I could find just after midnight on Weds morning (10th Nov). This is what the camera saw. I say that because I have very poor colour vison at night so I saw it in black and white. The shot made the front page of our broadsheet newspaper - The Age - 6 out of 8 columns!

There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.

Amazing, amazing stuff. This is one of the best pictures I've seen of the Northern Lights. Very well done, mate!

we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars
I always like auroras - this one is no exception...I love the greens and reds.

Very nice, I really like the aurora with the stars as the backdrop. Can you normally see stars like that in Australia? Great Pic! =)

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best image of its type I have ever seen. The colors are simply stunning! Between you and Trisbert, the Aussies are doing pretty well on Caedes tonight!

Wow! I was so upset when I missed it, I wasn't aware until the second night when we had cloud cover in Tassie. Congratualtions for capturing such a fantastic image of a wonderful event.

The scary thing is not what changes but the little bits of life that stay the same
We get stuff LIKE this in Alberta alot, but never quite like... this. Ours were always greens and blues and much thinner, wavier bands high in the sky. I like ours better. ;) But this is by far the BEST picture of any of the Aurora's I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing. 10/10 and in my favs.

This is great - you don't see too many photos of the Aurora Australis. I'd like to see more photos of it. Wish I could see one in my lifetime...

Wow, I have only seen very feint white Auroras here in Illinois two times... I know they are gorgeous but I never knew they were like that.
Nice shot. I'm sorry you can't see them very well with your eyes.

Are you the universe looking at yourself through the mirror of the human eye?
