Daz Type-R Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nicely done Mike, at least the battery held out long enough for you to get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 A couple more, same details plus dew on camera lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm interested to know how it looked to the naked eye. Was it the same colour as the photos but less intense perhaps? Any structure or movement visible? In Mansfield we had some passing cloud, but mostly it was misty with just several dozen brighter stars shining through the haze. Not sure if it improved after 11pm as I went to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it improved after 11pm as I went to bed. There was no obvious colour. It appeared more interesting visually I thought. There looked to be a horizontal strip of grey cloud running across the sky around 5 degrees above the horizon. It was darker below and above said stripe. Appearing and then vanishing were vertical strips of the same that extended to around 20 degrees elevation. These strips appeared to wander left and right quite slowly, becoming more intense and then fading away and so on. They were actually much more obvious than I had imagined they would be and my poor images do not do them justice. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for that Mike, very interesting It certainly sounds even more exciting visually. Wish I had seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Had I have charged my battery and realised I had dewed up and also remembered to shoot in RAW I might have done better. Also a light pollution filter might have helped, but this was a very rushed decision to pop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I agree with what Mike saw, it was fantastic to think we could see it this far south. At first the fog and mist made it difficult to work out what we were looking at but eventually it actually helped as the fog stayed still and the aurora drifted in and out of view.
