auroral colour

[Andywilliams]

Last week on august 5th we were treated to a coronal hole followed by some G1 auroral activity here in New Zealand.

Unfortunately I live a bit too far north to capture the spectacular Auroral images.

However, ever the optimist, I set my canon 6d with a Samyang 14mm lens up in my backyard and captured 300 or so shots (20 seconds at iso 3000) which I then sent through to lightroon timelapse.

I'm quite pleased with the result. Definitely some colour there.

Sorted for you Andy. Great timelapse!

I had to look up what a coronal hole is. What effect does it have on the Aurora

EDIT I've hidden your other post which is now a duplicate, hope that's correct.

You have some well trained clouds down in those parts.   They just sit on the horizon and shuffle about !!!!

Gorgeous timelapse.  Been a while since I saw the LMC.

Thanks Stu,

As far as I know the coronal holes have an effect of solar wind speed and therefore auroral activity.

The the clouds when there is a westerly are very well behaved indeed !

There are a range of large hills/small mountains under those clouds and it seems to keep the clouds at bay. 

A northerly however is a different matter all together 😂
