May 11th brought a massive G5 solar storm, and with it, one of the most spectacular displays of the Aurora Australis that New Zealand has seen in decades. I was privileged to be able to witness this from the picturesque Pouakai Tarn, with Mount Taranaki in the mid-foreground.
Believe it or not, this was captured in the darkness well after sunset. The waves of the southern lights were so powerful it nearly drowned out the stars in this long exposure image. What a sight!
