The southern aurora
As we are just coming into another active time for the sun to produce lots of opportunities for aurora to appear, I dug through the archives for one of the last times the sun was this active and produced a large number of great sights around a decade ago.
This was a stitched panorama of three or four images taken at a great dark sky site near Stawell in Victoria, just to the north of the wonderfully dark Grampians National Park. At these latitudes, we often just get the topmost red colours but they still make for a wonderful sight.
