Road to the Aurora
Submitted by:
John Burt at Wed Aug 20 09:36:01 2003 UTC
I was trying to catch the reflection of the aurora in the river, when I
thought the headlights of a passing car on the bridge ruined my photo.
Instead I think it made a neat effect. Fuji NPZ 800 asa, 28mm lens at
f2.5 for 20 secs.

Submitted by:
John Burt at Wed Aug 20 09:36:01 2003 UTC
This was a lot more impressive visually. The biggest problem was avoiding the cloud. Fuji NPZ 800 asa, 28mm lens at f 2.5

Watertower and Aurora 18/6/03
Submitted by:
John Burt at Thu Jun 19 12:35:02 2003 UTC
This photo was taken almost at the centre of town (Invercargill, New
Zealand 46 degrees South). The Watertower is not directly illuminated -
all the light is provided by the local light pollution. Howerver the
aurora was still bright enough to be seen t hrough it all. 24mm lens at
f2.5 on Kodak supra 400 for approx 10 seconds.

A Rainbow Of Southern Fire
Submitted by:
John Burt at Thu May 8 11:37:01 2003 UTC
This Auroral Arc appeared in the sky as darkness fell. This photo is a
composite of 5 photos and spans approximately 120 degrees, centered due
south. The island on the ocean is Stewart Island, whose Maori name is
Rakiura which I am told translates to "Burning Skies" in english.

From the 8th of April this year. Fuji NPZ 800 asa, 28mm lens at f 2.5
for 15 - 20 secs. I missed the best part of this diplay, but still got
the camera set-up before the fire in the sky had completely died.

Rays Of Venus
Submitted by:
John Burt at Thu Jan 16 06:02:01 2003 UTC
This photo was taken on 4 October 2002 at approx 10pm NZ standard time
(UT + 12 hours). The bright star low in the west is Venus. I was out
observing with my telescope when a ray appeared in the south. I got out
my camera, and then a green picket fence aurora formed almost due west,
with rays doing a small side-to-side dance. The display lasted for about
15 minutes, then all went quiet again. Exposure was 20secs on Fuji 800
NPZ film, with a Tamron 28mm lens at f 2.5.

Face In The Sky
Submitted by:
John Burt at Tue Jan 14 09:37:01 2003 UTC
This was the aurora in the early morning of 2 October 2002. When I
looked up at the corona it almost seemed as if there was face in sky,
staring back at me.

Corona 2/10/02
Submitted by:
John Burt at Sat Oct 5 08:53:01 2002 UTC
This was taken at 13.00 UT 2 OCT 02, from just outside Otautau,
Southland, New Zealand. I'm told that for those not familiar with the
aurora it helps to try and frame a terrestrial object in the shot.
Lacking a radio mast or nice tree nearby I had to settle for a telephone
pole.
28mm lens at f 2.8, 25-30secs on Fuji NPZ 800
