I saw in a local news group that due to extraordinary activity, the aurora australis was seen in canberra recently, albeit low and faint,
so since we are slightly further south than canberra, perhaps it might be visible here too.
I went outside when there was a clear night and looked generally south. could see the milky way rising but squat for the aurora so I took some pix anyhow.
to my surprise when I looked at the pix there is in fact a greenish glow to the left of the milky way and about where I expected I might see it,
so in the absence of evidence otherwise, I am claiming this as aurora.
wishing for a bit more southern horizon but not available. perhaps I will go looking for a better location when the moon clears off.
