Lightshow over (for now)

"We missed the major part of the storm--wrong side of the planet--but still caught some bright Southern Lights after the sun went down," Tom Luttrell photo from Australia's Casey Station on the coast of Antarctica (source spaceweather.com)

So the current magnetc storm may be over but there may be many more opportunities to view the southernlights from Venus Bay as the 24 year sunspot cycle climbs towards its expected maximum in 2013. This VBOP site will endeavor to keep you posted when good sightings are likely.
