new year aurora

From memory, this was a moonlit night which I normally avoided whenever I received an aurora alert, but it made it interesting combined with the clouds and the soft colours of the mild aurora. Thankfully, there were enough gaps in the cloud for some stars to show up. Taken around midnight, facing due south at my favourite dark sky location just north of the Grampians National Park in Victoria and showing the silhouetted outline of the Grampians Range.

 

This was a stitched panorama taken with my Canon 6D and 40mm pancake lens. Original exposures were around 20 seconds.

 

Happy Nice Wonderful Clouds Tuesday!
