Aurora from Oxfordshire last night

[melsky]

My first ever photo of an aurora taken from north of Witney last night just before midnight. You could see nothing by eye because of the light mist but it was plain to see on the back of the camera. This is an 8 sec exposure @5000iso on the A7s 24mm lens.

Wow...lovely.

Seems to have been quite a night for the Aurora and those lucky enough to see it!

All my part of London had last night was the famed Aurora Orangius, North, West and South......  

(Clever sig btw. I have no idea what that first bit is, lol)

very nice. Lovely color. Next time frame up so you get the color range to include the star field a little more maybe.

Very nice! 

I was thinking of chancing it with the camera but as I could only see an orange glow I didn't bother. Wish I had now.

[Twisted Lip]

Wow, thats got to me one of the first times its ever reached down to Oxfordshire!

Good capture

Excellent. I did pop out a few times last night to see if there was any activity up till about 1am but saw nothing but orange-illuminated mist

[happy-kat]

Very nice image bet that felt great.

Well caught the hi ISO  and shorter exposure with the Sony helps keep some structure in the aurora... 

Like it

I saw the 1989 big one here in West Sussex.

Nice to see it so far south again.....it was to cloudy here to see anything.

[DaveS]

Very nice.

Even if it had reached as far as London *and* it had been clear (Yeah, right) I wouldn't have seen anything through the horrid orange glow.  .

If we ever do gat an aurora that reaches this far south, *and* is bright enough to bee seen through the LP then we're probably all doomed, and our electronics will be well fried.

[robbie c]

Cracking image I didn't know you could see it that far South 

[Pete Presland]

Wonderfull to see it so far south i looked myself, but it was pretty cloudy/misty in Bedfordshire.

[Ibbo!]
