IPS AURORA SEEN : 11th Nov 2003

[anonymous]

Hi,

My wife and I were able to see a 'white' aurora at approximately 21:40h 
Aust Eastern summer time from our home in Sandfly - postcode 7150 - and 
which approximately 25kms south of Hobart and at 200m above sea level. The 
aurora extended from the southern horizon up to about 75 degrees - 90 
degrees being directly overhead.

Regards
