Last night the aurora was lovely, so, rather than heading somewhere remote, I sat in my back garden and enjoyed the view. Here's a 90 minute exposure taken twixt 22:22 and 23:52. #Startrails#aurora#auroraaustralis
Coronal Aurora, as seen from Lake Aviemore, 00:34 on 12/5/2024. In a coronal aurora, lines converge at the magnetic zenith in a stunning "crown" shape It's beautiful #aurora#auroraaustralis#NewZealand
I'd conservatively describe the #AuroraAustralis last night as life-alteringly magnificent. I've always wanted to see the lights and I'm thrilled it's finally happened - right in my backyard! I'm not much of a photographer, but I'm sure glad I brought my (old, very entry-level) camera.
After seeing the #aurora in action - the colour, the movement, towering overhead a way that photos and videos simply cannot do justice to - I can see why the Lights were so frequently attributed to gods
An Absolutely stunning, one in a lifetime solar event has occurred over the weekend. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be taking a photo of an Aurora lighting up the whole sky near where I lived.
There are moments when you have to say, Mother nature is awesome. One such moment occurred at Lake Aviemore last night at 02:25:45. This is three five second exposures combined to make a panorama. WOW! #aurora#auroraaustralis#beauty#NewZealand
I may have slightly gone a bit batshit crazy when the sky did this at Lake Aviemore last night. This is a fisheye lens image during the height of the display. Seriously. WOAH! #aurora#astronomy#auroraaustralis#NewZealand#beauty
A moment from last night's extraordinary display of the Aurora Australis. A 6.5 second exposure taken at 00:30:17 this morning #aurora#auroraaustralis#NewZealand
Die Aurora Borealis ist so mainstream. Ich warte auf die Aurora Gothstralis - wenn der Himmel sich in schaurig-schönen Schleiern von Dunkelheit und Schwarz hüllt. Ein Spektakel für die düsteren Seelen unter uns. 🖤 #GothLife#AuroraGothstralis#auroraaustralis
You know that "famous" Wānaka tree? It's not as good as the upside down aurora tree I found tonight at my secret aurora perch! #aurora#auroraaustralis#NewZealand
I'm at 33.5°N latitude, and my friends saw the Northern Lights last night at even 31.9°N latitude. Is anyone here closer to the equator than that (North or South) and saw the Northern or Southern Lights? #AuroraBorealis#AuroraAustralis. Apparently, in 1859, people saw them from Hawai'i, and that must have really been something!
One of the more intense patches of colour from the Aurora Australis I observed a couple of hours ago or so.
A huge event to show so well so far north, and in the light pollution. Could make it out with the naked eye, and my Pixel picked it up just fine in astrophotography mode.
I got some time lapse with moving sheets, but they're a bit artifacty. Do you want to see them or just enjoy all the better shots that people have been getting?
Funny how many folks up north don’t realise that the #AuroraBorealis is not the only #Aurora - there is also the #AuroraAustralis down in the southern parts
Not a patch on some of the amazing shots I'm seeing, but as I'm laid up with Covid this is the best shot I've managed of the #AuroraAustralis looking out onto the street from my front porch tonight.
Just insane colours. (3 second exposure, handheld on iPhone 13 mini.)
