Southern Lights - Aurora Australis

[asiafrenz]

Any know how lightly or frequently this appeared in NZ or Australia? Rarer than than the COE coming down?

Anyone actually seen while in NZ or Australia?

For ones that you can see clearly, yes, it's just about as rare as COE being abolished. Your best chance is in southern parts of Tasmania, and southern parts of the NZ south island.

thank you andy, so now better dont pinch too much of hope of seeing such lights in the southern hemisphere.

even if not visible to the eye, if you use the camera and take long exposure shots, you can still catch it on camera.

They just had one of the better display since the time I started tracking it. The photos are great and it's visible to the eye too.

One way is to join the aurora australis tasmania fb group to find out more about locations, etc. Usually NZ would be a better place to be but don't hold your breathe for it. Have not found a FB group for NZ yet to track.

Due to how the land mass is in the southern side, it is not as frequently spotted as it would be in the northern side. Had seen it twice in 2 trips (6 days in total) in the Northern side, Southern side is still elusive! So this is more rare to me!

thank you.

I think better for me to stick to northern hemisphere for now, at least chances a little higher.

My take is, going on a holiday to see a natural phenomena is really hit and miss and need a bit of luck..

agree but i guess since my plan is to mainly chase the light, i guess heading to the northern hemisphere for me would be higher chance for me.

i would not mind to depend on luck if the main objective of visiting the southern hemisphere is not about chasing the light.

can we see the southern lights in grampians? hee

 

[anpontan]

will be going there during the easter period, not sure if we can even catch a glimpse of it
