Taranaki Aurora!
Taranaki Aurora!
Taken: Friday 24 March at 10:23pm
Story: With a huge geomagnetic storm in progress I was pretty sure that there would be an aurora - what I wasn't sure about was the weather as it was forecast to be thick high cloud. I knew it was definitely worth trying, and in the end my efforts paid off with my best ever aurora shots and beams over Mt Taranaki that I could see pulsing on the back of my live view camera screen. While I couldn't see the beams with my naked eye, I think I could see a bit of pinkish glow over the mountain - although it's hard to know whether that was my imagination or not.
