Images from Last Nights Aurora Australis (17 March, 2013)

| Another beautiful image by Graham Saunders, this one has what I suspect is the International Space Station going across, as well as the Milky Way. (Time is about right for the ISS) | Paul Albers got these shots near Flinders, Victoria. Being further north the colours are more muted than the Tasmanian ones, but the composition is marvellous with the Magellanic clouds (and what is probably actually a meteor) |
Some images sent in by correspondents of the amazing Aurora Australis of last night (17 -18 March 2013) are shown above (thanks guys for sharing).
The nearly full on impact from a fairly modest Coronal Mass Ejection saw aurora being detected as far way as the QLD/NSW border. Sadly cloud cover meant many places were unable to see the Aurora Australis, but quite a few people still did, with the cloud even adding to the atmosphere of the images.
Now here's some links to some amazing images from the Aurora Australis Tasmania group (remember what I said about copyright and permissions). There is no particular order to these (and if I have missed you out, it's because I had to stop and go to bed).
