Typically the aurora appears either as a diffuse glow or as "curtains" that approximately extend in the east-west direction. At some times, they form "quiet arcs"; at others ("active aurora"), they evolve and change constantly. Each curtain consists of many parallel rays, each lined up with the local direction of the magnetic field lines, suggesting that auroras are shaped by Earth's magnetic field.
I've been keeping track of Aurora Australis activity trying to finally get a decent shot of the 'green glow'. This is about as good as it gets from mainland Australia. Would love to head down to Tazzy, or even Antarctica one day.

Aurora borealis (Northern lights) over Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
Lucky enough to capture a shooting start during the exposure :)
This was taken in early 2013 but I'm just getting back into Flickr so thought I'd share some of my older images
Calgary Night Photographers Meet-up Saturday April 12. The How to process HDR meet-up was hijacked to go Aurora hunting in the wilds of Southern Alberta, Several unwitting newcomers were duped into coming out. This pond was a real find with miles of treeless prairie behind us, the road turned out to be washed out and we could not meet our other group members!
With our trip to Iceland nearing its end and no real sign of the Aurora, the impending forecast of clear skies and high CME activity resulted in the most spectacular thing my eyes have ever witnessed. The colours you see here are true to time and i have no way changed them. Even the hotel staff claimed it was the biggest show they had seen for many years!!!!
The Aurora watch was hitting 90% and Brett Abernethy and I were ready. Even with the clouds it was very impressive. The cloud here was moving over the aurora and the view is due East.
I managed to get my first Aurora last night. It was very faint and not visible with the naked eye so had to boost colours a bit to show it up.
I shot at iso 2000 @F4 for 60 seconds at 16mm but in hindsight I should of increased the iso to reduce the star movement.
I personally like some moonlight when i shoot Auroras because it lights up the foreground ,instead of pitch black like with no moon My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis my facebook www.facebook.com/YiannisPavlis4/ my instagram www.instagram.com/yiannispavlisphoto/
My first attempt at capturing the aurora. I took a ton of pics but struggled with composition. Thank goodness for cropping.. live and learn!
Sunspot activity often means an Aurora Borealis display in the north sky. This was a 30-second time exposure.
the clouds rolled in and prevented a better show of the pretty aurora. The Andromeda galaxy is visible in the aurora above the green band as a fuzzy white oval!
Still having an amazing time in the Arctic. Just put a new blog together with more photos from this epic aurora night, owls, Arctic macros....

This was shot on a random dark road somewhere 30 minutes outside of Reykjavik that probably only our driver Siggi knows where it's located.
You hear stories of people going to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and not seeing them the entire time there and others getting full-blown auroras with crazy dancing lights. Well, we didn't quite get the crazy dancing lights here, but we were still quite lucky to see them on the very first night we arrived and then a second time about a week later, so no complaints.
This was my first time attempting to shoot the Northern Lights and I had little astrophotography experience in general so it was a bit of a struggle at first to get good results, but through lots of trial and error you have the result seen here :)
Hamnoy island, yet another aurora photo, this one was one of my favorites, I only saw this phenomenon that evening for the first time, and maybe will never see it again.
