April is for … Aurora?

I live at about 40°S, a little bit far north for the super spectacular sort of sky magic you get further nearer the pole but Monday 24th of April there was quite the display of all the magnetic things. And, not so very much cloud happening, an added bonus. I’ll def be checking spaceweather.com to see what else is coming this way.

Here’s a composite ‘star trail’ of 10-11pm, from Featherston looking South across Lake Wairarapa, New Zealand.

Settings were iso 400, f/1.8 15sec, with a 20mm lens.

A while back I ran away from a twentymumble-year corporate career to be a feckless art student. Since then I've dirtied my hands with, metaphorically and/or literally, bronze and ceramic sculpture, photography, and digital and traditional illustration. Mask making was one discovery, dovetailing with my interests in teaching and performing improvised theatre.
