https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Geophysical/1/3/1 🤔 It was red earlier... I am stuck here because the clouds were kind and the Dwarfs are running in the front yard.
Maybe down at the beach we might get a shot if the aurora makes an appearance.

The #Aurora forecast for last night was good enough that I took a punt on going out to photograph it.
I live in south east Queensland, which is around the 28º latitude and thus far too close to the tropics to usually get aurora, but the 1.5 hr drive to a darkish area west of Brisbane proved worth it.
As aurora photos go, these are fairly tame, but for the location, I'm extremely happy with having got this much.

Skywatchers across Australia, get ready! The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a rare alert for a severe geomagnetic storm, triggered by the strongest solar flare in over 20 years.
This means the Aurora Australis could be visible across southern and even central parts of the country tonight, potentially as far north as Alice Springs!Here’s how to try and see it:
Where: Head as far south as possible. Tasmania, Victoria, and southern parts of SA and WA have the best chance. Get away from city lights.
When: During local nighttime hours. Look towards the southern horizon.
Pro Tip: Your phone camera might pick up the colours more vividly than your naked eye! Using a tripod or steady surface can help.
No guarantees with auroras, but this is a very exciting and rare opportunity. Look up! -

"One of nature's most magnificent shows, the southern lights, could be on display for large parts of southern Australia tonight as far north as Perth and Sydney, with a severe solar storm having an impact on Earth."

Aurora Australis from Royal National Park! This is AMAZING.
The big solar storm that is passing us this week, triggered nu a coronal mass ejection from the Sun has produced a class G4 / G5 geomagnetic storm.
Our magnetosphere deflects most of the particles from Sun away, but near the poles, some spiral down and excite our atmosphere - producing aurora.
This storm was powerful enough to generate aurora sightings as far north as Coonabarabran and the Siding Spring Observatory. That's around 340 km NW of Sydney (closer to the equator, at 31 degrees south!)
While city lights drowned out the view for many, those under darker skies were treated to an extraordinary show. This stunning timelapse footage, captured by my friend Filippo Rivetti from Royal National Park south of Sydney, offers a glimpse of the awe-inspiring beauty and planetary-scale force of this event.
A reminder of the vast, dynamic forces at play: a star lashing out across space, and a planet, our home planet with its protective magnetic shield - hosting the only life we know of so far in the Universe, safely within.

Aurora Storm prediction is huge tonight. Hope some folks in NZ and Tassie are in position for it :)
Time right now is roughly 11:20UTC.

Victoria isn't particularly known for #aurora, but with the sun being at its solar maximum it's a great time to keep an eye on the night sky.
Despite spending about 9 weeks in Iceland and Norway (during late autumn/winter) the past 18 months, two of the best Auroras I've ever seen have been right here where you normally never see them. Fingers crossed for some more soon!

Aurora alert for Western Australia, including Perth!
We took this shot about 30 minutes ago from Como!
This also answers the question "Can a Dwarf3 image the aurora?". And the answer is "yes".

Tonight I got to the Hassans Wall Lookout at Lithgow about 10 minutes after the peak of auroral activity, but still managed to get some photos and had some great chats for the next two hours with all the people who were also there.

And this was an unexpected fave, a stranger standing on the back of the ute, taking a photo of the #AuroraAustralis by phone.

Looking north over Christchurch, the red #AuroraAustralis glow can be seen above the city lights.

After seeing some incredible SM Pics from last night, these are mine from 730pm tonight from Dempster Head, Esperance.

Oh man... I was feeling so fortunate to see the total eclipse last month. Now I am intensely jealous of people back home seeing such vibrant Aurora Australis.

Australian authorities are rather reserved in their predictions, so don't get you hopes up too high, but if you don't look for these things you are unlikely to see them.

The Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis, is an otherworldly spectacle gracing the skies of the southern hemisphere, from Patagonia to Australia and beyond.
