Thanks heaps Richard 👍! I couldn't believe my luck when it cleared, I was hoping for a few small windows in the clouds at best. Fact it cleared almost entirely was like winning the astro lotto 🏆
Thanks heaps Jeroen 👍! I'm a sucker for a time-lapse and you don't get much better subject matter than this 😊. Location ended up being pretty good, I went to a dam wall the following night which was going to be my choice for the main event. Usually I'd have the place to myself, that night though it was full of people. No way I would've been capturing clean time-lapse there with all the car headlights. Fantastic to see so many people captivated by the night sky though!
Thanks Paul, not quite as good a show at 37° South as your 52° North, still the most amazing Aurora I've seen. Amazing how familiar places can seem so alien in the dark, but man the rate of vegetation growth there was stunning 😂
Hi ! Well done... I agree with you. That was an incredible night for me too in Europe, Provence, South of France. Amazing night since twenty five years ! Australia is terrific for Milkyway pictures... A dream for us. I use an Olympus E-M1 mk3 and ZUIKO 8mm f/1.8 lens. But not for my video of May 11. That was a CANON G1X Mk2. Best regards.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, we are very lucky in Australia for night sky and Milky way photography. May 11th was something else, I'm not sure what I expected, but it exceeded it. Only time I've ever seen naked eye visible beams and colour.
Thanks Lawrence 🙏. Yeah, I think the strength really took a lot of people off guard when it was clearly visible over city light pollution. Would have been amazing to be closer to the poles to see corona. A lot easier for you to get north than for us to get south I suspect, anything further south than 43° and we're getting wet 😊.
Loved it Domenic 🙌, what latitude are you at? The definition in the beams in some of the timelapses near the end were amazing. Also loved the shots with the longer focal lengths, they really add to the richness and variety of the video 👏👏👏
Thanks Greg 👍. I was around 37 degrees south for the Aurora, the beams were truly like nothing I've seen with the naked eye. Love my longer focal lengths for time lapse, didn't really nail the beams with them as I'd hoped, but I think it is a great way to add emphasis and detail when mixed with wider focal lengths.
That was amazing Dominic. So glad you got past those clouds. .. and so close to home.

Amazingly captured! Loved the timelapses. Great choice of location also 👌

Fantastic video, Dominic. Loved the timelapses and location. Made me chuckle when you said “if I can remember the way” - been there done that!! 🤣🤣

What a fantastic night , i was in north Wales uk, didn't matter which way i looked it was there, 👌👍👍👍
Wow Brian, that sounds near life changing 😊. Thanks for watching 👍.

Another good video. It was crazy here in BC Canada. Really makes me want to go up north and see the lights where is no light pollution.

@@AstroRoad We were at -33 degrees. I'm definitely going to play with some longer focal lengths like this - I use my 85mm a bit.
