The stories of how far north people were witnessing it are incredible. I'm heading 1000km north to Carnarvon next week, if there is another event during the week I'll definitely still be looking for it 😊
Great video Greg, your photos and timelapse were fantastic, it was a memorable night both in the southern hemisphere and in the northern hemisphere, here where I live in southern Europe Portugal I also got good photos of the Aurora Borialis it was a phenomenon that had not been seen at this latitude since 1938. Thank you Greg for sharing this Planetary event
Great VLOG once again Greg. What a night and location to witness such a phenomenon. The location keeps on giving, so many POV and your explainations with the Kp, Bz and Bt figures and the mini-tutorial help a lot. Thanks for featuring my images and timelapse as well.
Very nice video for a very impressive event, if i remember well it was a value Kp8. Beautiful photos for the panorama for the aurora with the milky way.
@@GrowPhotography Thanks Greg. I don't think the ambassadorship make s a whole lot of difference to anyone. I like the Nomad so I said yes when they asked me. I wouldn't have done so for the original MSM rotator though.
Thanks Jaune, I did notice how much more green was coming thru in the images from the northern hemisphere. At -32 degrees south we are still quite far north. Images coming from Tasmania and New Zealand had more green.
What an historical night this was! So nice to see you also witnessed it from the other side of the world. Interesting how much more red your sky was compared to ours. Also, superb location choice 👌.
Thanks Jeroen, certainly was amazing to witness and yes, we got a lot more red than you guys. I think a lot of it was SAR arc in addition to aurora. Currently only have patchy mobile service but looking forward to catching up with your content when I get home.
Thanks Paul, it was great to be able to share some imagery showing a naked eye view. The fully edited images do give an unrealistic expectation of what such an event looks like to the uninitiated.
It was a fantastic night! The sky exploded nicely. You did well and I was hoping you had headed out for it. I took iso down a bit, and also shutter speed. It was nuts!!!! We were seeing it up over the top of us and finding it towards the northern horizon too. It was crazy in Tasmania. That naked eye view was pretty bang on too. A great night for the kids!! I loved their excitement. Took mine out and they were so glad for it. I had some lens condensation as well.
@@GrowPhotography a dripping lens - yeah definitely need something to help that. I found I was giving the front of my lens a wipe every couple of images at one point. It was so worth being out though.
Great memory of an awesome night, Greg. Interesting how it was so much redder for you that at our latitude, which gives it a completely different vibe. I imagine you’re still buzzing now - it still feels quite surreal to me!
Yes, definitely still buzzing and was great witnessing it with a group of friends. In hindsight I'm wondering if much of the redness in the sky was possibly SAR arc over the top of the main aurora.
@@GrowPhotography yes I think you definitely had a SAR, although I tend to lump it all into the same bucket (but keep that to myself as it’d be enough to get chucked out of some FB groups!!). All gorgeous stuff. What’s interesting is how the SAR is so well defined - it almost seems to have a sharp edge!
@@nightscapejournals Haha, yes some of these groups can be a protective of the correct terminology 🤣. The sharp edge was doing our heads in - it was making the images look a bit fake but that's how it was amazingly.
The amount of color that you all got down there is unbelievable. I was in the Dolomites and got a two day warning from my apps and X, but assumed that you would have to be much farther North to see it. Still kicking myself for not following up and realizing that this may have been a once in a lifetime event. It was cloudy where I was, but had I known, I would have found some open sky somewhere. Seems like you chose the perfect location. Congrats on your amazing shots!
Thanks so much for watching William, keen to check out your channel when I get back to a location with better internet. Hopefully we get another bite of the cherry at some stage during this solar cycle.
@@GrowPhotography I'm headed up to Tombstone in the Yukon in September so I'm hoping things stay active until then. I'm hoping the24-25 season is better than what I had this year. I was in Norway in the Fall and again in the Winter and the aurora was pretty mellow both times. I can't imagine being up there with a KP over 6!
Very impressive showing of the Aurora Australis. You were certainly in the right place at the right time. On the East Coast in Sydney, it was raining and clouded out. Maybe we might get lucky soon on the East Coast 🤞😎
Great video Greg. Was an historical evening! Weirdly it seems my eyes are not very sensitive to aurora, I can barely remember seeing any vivid colours and it's interesting that one of Virat's youngsters said the same thing in the video but yourself and everybody else seemed to be mesmerised....just one of the unlucky ones perhaps 😅
I was pretty much seeing what the Pocket 3 was showing in low light mode. From memory Virat's daughter was actually saying she couldn't see anything because my video light was shining in her eyes, but she may have meant the aurora. It certainly is nowhere near as intense as the camera images portray. I wonder how much brighter the northern lights are at the higher latitudes like Iceland.
@@GrowPhotography yeah I definitely did not see anything close to that, just a very feint red hue at one point....oh well, got terrible night vision I guess. Northern Lights would likely be much easier to see given that there's land and populated areas way closer to the north pole than there are to the south pole....you can literally be inside the aurora I guess rather than seeing it from a distance.
Absolutely epic event mate! Can't believe I could see it 1.5hrs north of Auckland City, crazy!
The stories of how far north people were witnessing it are incredible. I'm heading 1000km north to Carnarvon next week, if there is another event during the week I'll definitely still be looking for it 😊
Very special, memories of a great night
Certainly was Danny, and you had a more epic view than most 🙌

Thank you Greg for sharing this Planetary event
So glad you enjoyed the video and got to see it for yourself as well. With any luck it won't be the last opportunity this solar cycle 🤞

Thanks so much for the continued support Nik. Day 1 of our epic Gascoyne trip successfully under our belt 👍
Very nice video for a very impressive event, if i remember well it was a value Kp8.
Beautiful photos for the panorama for the aurora with the milky way.
Thanks Massimo, yes it peaked at kp8 which is amazing.
Wow! Your art is breathtaking, I love it. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey.
My pleasure, glad to be able to bring you along.
Another great video of this epic event Greg. You had some great company out there. .wow what an amazing night it was ..!!!
Sure was Richard, and congrats on the MSM ambassadorship 👍
@@GrowPhotography Thanks Greg. I don't think the ambassadorship make s a whole lot of difference to anyone. I like the Nomad so I said yes when they asked me. I wouldn't have done so for the original MSM rotator though.
@@nightscapeimages.richard No, I agree - maybe they will give you affiliate links for Nomad purchases.
Awesome ❤ Ours were more pink and green. Good to see the 'human eye's view of them as well 👍 Amazing shots.
Thanks Jaune, I did notice how much more green was coming thru in the images from the northern hemisphere. At -32 degrees south we are still quite far north. Images coming from Tasmania and New Zealand had more green.
Such an awesome experience. So lucky with the weather too. Fantastic video Greg, amazing event to witness for everyone.
Thanks Domenic, some great memories from the night.

Great video Greg, well done . It was an incredible night and for those of us that got to see the aurora will remember it for many years to come
Thanks Jeff, I have my fingers crossed that this won't be the last one for this solar cycle 🤞
Amazing sky, unbelievable that you could see so much detail with the naked eye and your osmo did really well in low light

Thanks Denise, seeing it from Tasmania would have been next level. I definitely need a second lens warmer - the camera and lens were dripping.
@@GrowPhotography a dripping lens - yeah definitely need something to help that. I found I was giving the front of my lens a wipe every couple of images at one point. It was so worth being out though.
Great video Greg,
Cheers Gavin 👍
I live in Mandurah. I can’t believe how beautiful the Aurora was down there not so far from here. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photography
My pleasure, Mandurah region is also a popular destination for Perth locals hoping to get aurora glimpses 👍
