This aurora australis timelapse is from the very impressive display last month. It covers around 20 minutes of action from around 9:15, condensed into a very short video.

I took two cameras with me that night. One I was pointing here, there and everywhere as the light show shifted from one part of the sky to the other and the other I set up and left to do its thing in order to get some files for an aurora timelapse.

At one point, the beams reached right up to the zenith and I pointed my main camera straight up and set the camera to shoot on interval mode for a while, capturing some really nice movement as the beams danced in the moonlight. I only did this for a couple of minutes so the video is very short, but worth a look I think 🙂

If you are keen to try making aurora australis timelapse videos for yourself here is a link to a very useful instructional video from Adobe.
