Aurora Australis from Goats Bluff, Tasmania. 15/08/2015. 

On a recent trip to Tasmania for the Aurora Australis and Night Sky Festival I was lucky enough to witness the largest display I have yet to see. Clouds were a persistent problem but there were enough gaps to get a reasonably clear view.

Eight image panorama. Canon 6D, 14mm, F/2.8. ISO 3200. 8 x 30 seconds.

This is absolutely stunning and takes my breath away. You captured the aurora really well and as well as the stars. Your work has left me awe-struck. If perfection had existed, it would look like this. Fantastic job!

Nice shot, Greg.  I have an aurora app that shows me what they look like at any given moment both in the Arctic and the Antarctic--and the southern lights always seem more intense, though I've never seen them reach as far up as Australia.

A beacon on a small island to let ships know it is there.
