Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Here in Tassie auroras are becoming a bit more frequent. A spectacular night on March 20th led to sightings all round the state. The Tas Aurora Facebook page has become busier. Some 'chasers' are very secretive about their locations.
I was up on the Central Plateau on March 20 - a true dark sky spot - aurora appeared scarcely after sunset, visible to naked eye, as was Spectra, the light installation at MONA some distance away. Using a Pentax K-1 with Irix 15mm.

Nice work on the aurora!

Would love to see this phenomenon one day - until then - great images!

Nice work, great stuff. I also would like to see this sometime. Is there a certain time of year or certain months for this?

Around the equinox is often said to be best, and in Tasmania the autumn (fall) tends to have more stable weather conditions whereas Spring here is often four seasons in a day.

@Saley you're not double posting to have a crack at winning the DFA*50 are you?😝

Great Photos. Looks like I will have to visit Tassie a bit earlier in the year. I have been several times in September/October.

Great photos
