False alarm

Tonight, it was supposed to be possible to see the Aurora Australis in the southern sky after 10pm. Well it’s no good from the farm because Black Billy has his rather large head directly to the south so we went over to near rustycrapp’s place for isbi to set up her tripod (that’s her in the thumbnail) while I balanced my trusty iPhone on the door of the ute.
The Aurora never made an appearance but my phone certainly picked up more light than I expected resulting in a half decent shot, just as good if not better than what isbi’s camera produced - not sure if I can draw any conclusions from that!
