Mild Aurora Australis tonight. Nothing too extreme but caught the beams with our eyes which printed the pic

Yeah, NRL (National Rugby League), AFL (Australian Football League) and Rugby Union.

I’m watching my AFL team (Essendon) get thumped so far in the early Saturday game… 😭

I’m very, very lucky to live where I do.

I can get photos like this with my iPhone 15 Pro, 10 sec long exposure. Also had the great luck of catching a mild Aurora Australis too…

Yeah I’m about 45 mins out of Hobart, semi rural but still in essential a suburb.

Been using the mosaic feature to see both Magellanic Clouds. This is a pic I took a while back. No editing except a small adjustment to colour.
