While I was visiting Tasmania, I kept a lookout for the Southern Lights – The Aurora Australis. There had been a very good one a day or two before my visit. During one evening, there was a reasonable Aurora Australis. It was difficult to see any glow with the naked eye, but it showed up in a long exposure photo. Unfortunately, my observing location was very poor at my sister and Brother in law’s house at West Ulverstone. There was a row of trees to to the south and the southern outlook was slightly uphill.
The photos were taken around 11 pm. Details – 20 mm f4, 10 seconds, 3200 ISO.
A day or two later, with some more scouting around, I asked up a road behind the row of trees and found a much better site to observe in the future. It had a much better view to the south and included Mt Rowland.
