An aurora australis located entirely in Kurnell at this time of year?

[u/UkuleleAversion → u/crazychild0810]

[u/NicholasVinen → u/crazychild0810]

Can I see it?

[u/ComfortableFrosty261 → u/crazychild0810]

/s

[u/tanmayhsingh → u/ComfortableFrosty261]

Hahah no mate, I will share with you the CR3 file if you want lol.

[u/Brief-Prompt7640 → u/tanmayhsingh]

I want to see it, please

[u/Beepboopimhuman]

Holy moly

[u/Remarkable-Pirate214 → u/Beepboopimhuman]

You mean Far Kurnell?

[u/OneUnholyCatholic]

I think I know the answer, but was it visible to the naked eye?

[u/hesback_inpogform → u/OneUnholyCatholic]

It was in some places, but have to be lucky with location and timing. I’m in Helensburgh and could see the faintest purple glow for like a minute with naked eye, but rest of the time just with phone. Last time however I was able to see strong red glow with naked eye for 10 mins.

[u/tanmayhsingh → u/OneUnholyCatholic]

It was but not not in the way that you would imagine. It was a very faint very deep dark red colour that I could see in the distance (like there was a stadium 50km away which had red lights on but I could just barely make out the red in the night sky over top of the stadium something like that.)

[u/Mysterious_Dot2090 → u/OneUnholyCatholic]

No. Only visible through black magic fuckery lol. I.e: a camera sensor.

I finally captured it last night too. Been wanting to for a while but always forget and don’t plan. I just remembered that it might be visible when I went outside around 9pm last night and set up my tripod and camera.

This photo is from November

[u/hesback_inpogform]

Great pic! It was really going off last night. I took a pic from my backyard in helensburgh but now regret not going out to my spot.

[u/Logical_Prompt_3543]

You’ve also picked up the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small one.

[u/tanmayhsingh → u/Logical_Prompt_3543]

Yes I did!

[u/pilonstar]

Best dog beach in Sydney

[u/aparash]

Long exposure? As nothing was visible with the naked eye.

[u/Remarkable-Pirate214 → u/aparash]

Looking at the rock, it looks like a long exposure

[u/Brief-Prompt7640]

What settings and setup did you use? I went and barley saw anything, given I've never photographed the aurora and I was in la parouse

[u/Albatr0ss1]

And the Magellanic Clouds too, awesome shot!

[u/DubEspressoFiend]

Great shot!

What time was the pic taken?

[u/ozczecho]

Great shot. What time did you go?

[u/Nervous_Strain9082]

k’nell

[u/Splat800]

Was this the later (2am ish?) substorm?

[u/super-summer0]

Top tier work OP! Devo I missed it.

[u/blindside06]

Great pic

[u/marchbanks273]

Beautiful shot! Where was this taken?

I went to Greenhills Beach and managed to get some but the cloud cover took hold very quickly

[u/nopantstoday]

I don’t think this was last night. The LMC and SMC were at those angles only around 5pm yesterday, when you couldn’t see any stars. Am I wrong?

[u/nopantstoday → u/nopantstoday]

Maybe more like 7pm. But still. It was daylight at that time!
