Looks like the magpies on the block are having another litter - I'm no birdologist, but it seems a little late in the season maybe? But hey, it's a pretty mild autumn we're having so far...

The colors of autumn...

Took my wee camera outside for the full moon last night, to see if I could find out how long exposure shooting works - and then discovered I was out of battery...

I got off less than a handful of shots, this one is pretty cool I guess 😁

Grebe on the Copenhagen Lakes - earlier today, the first day of autumn I guess...

I am sharing this shot of last night's #AuroraAustralis not because it is a great image of the #Aurora, but because it shows just how bright it was, even in #PerthAustralia .

At approximately 32 degrees South, we are quite a long way from the polar regions, so any auroral activity is usually only visible from especially dark areas. Some parts of the Perth hills, for example.

To see any auroras in the coastal suburbs, in the depths of heavy light pollution is very rare indeed.

Last night, not long after sunset, arguably one of the worst viewing times, I was able to get this image from the car park of a Thai restaurant in Wembley.

Why did I take it? Because I could see it with the naked eye! Despite a streetlight right in front of me.

Prior to heading down to Trigg, we stopped off at Herdsman Lake, and I scored this shot of the #AuroraAustralis .

The #AuroraAustralis was visible even at Trigg Beach (S32ish) this evening! The Kaus index climbed as high as 8 at one point!

The aurora was only barely visible to the naked eye because of all the light pollution. A camera, though, had no trouble seeing it.

I've been doing a little #Astrophotography of the last couple of nights. It has been a mix of #WideField and #DeepSky.
Here is one of the wide-field results I am particularly happy with.
