AURORA
17 January 2005
This is a photo I took
of the aurora between 1:30am and 4:00am on the 17th of January, with a 200
ISO film, up to one minute exposure, from my back yard in Blackmans Bay.
The aurora started as a glow, which spread
a long way the south-east and south-west and upwards to approximately 40/45
degrees above the horizon at times. Luckily it was a clear night and I was
able to catch Scorpius in this photo.
