Extremely bright Aurora Australis visible from Kiama early this morning!

This was the brightest auroral display David and I have ever seen! The Pacific Ocean was purple from the reflection, it was that bright! We had to wait all night for the show to begin, but it was more than worth it. The brightest part of the show happened just before 6 AM, at which time the sky to the east was already brightening rapidly, with daybreak not far away. Despite all that, the Aurora was bright and obvious and unmistakable to the naked eye.

Here are the photos:






You can see three short time-lapse videos of the Aurora Australis HEREHERE and HERE.

We also hosted a live stream of the event in real time. You can see the 14-minute video (quite amusing) HERE. :)
