A hint of aurora.....
.....and a hint of cloud too!
Last night I received an aurora email alert, and I checked one of my favourite aurora websites which gives a more accurate indication of whether an aurora will be visible at my latitude. Was pleased to see a high number, so dashed outside for a trial shot in our street. A little colour was visible, but sadly, the lower part of the sky down to the horizon had a light hazy cloud layer just obscuring any colour low down. Normally, that part of the sky is filled with stars. Happy to see a little splash of red up high not being overpowered by our town's street-light glow. This was now the second aurora visible in Mount Gambier I have seen this year.
As it was a hasty shot, I did not even get out the tripod. Here, the Canon RP was just set on my front garden table propped up on my spectacle case!
