  • wow thats amazing !!!!!! what time of the year can this be seen ? ( i didnt even know Aurora could be seen from nz) .how many photos did you take all together ?

  • @electroryan Auroras happen when an explosion happens on the sun and sends a solar wind to the poles. This sequence was shot from about 7 at night until after midnight. One frame every 30 seconds.

  • how did you know that this was going to happen??? I would love to see it for real !!!

  • @Ni213Ki A saw the first signs in photos I took the night before so the following night I was ready!
