Don't forget to dunk on everyone else, and you need to up the panic a bit. I'm trying to sell PV panels here. Our coal plant sales are slowing a bit.
It's only a tiny glass of red. Allow me to celebrate. Sales are bound to spike. You just make sure to do your part.Lay off the booze.

Phone was set to auto-flash which is what affected the trees, but it captured what I could see with the naked eye at the time which you said was too dim to make out with the naked eye because we are too far from the poles.Based on how over exposed the trees are, I would guess the phone was using some video based exposure (night mode) of a few seconds long.
The SA images are all long exposure photo's. It's too dim to make out with the naked eye this far away from the poles.
How much had you lit up before this?I may have been lucky and caught a glimpse of the aurora last night from the deep south in CPT, looking towards Simon's Town/Cape Point.
I looked out my window just before going to bed and thought, "oh no, it looks like there is a fire on the mountain again", but realized that the glow in the sky was much more crimson than orange and that there wasn't any smoke. It was a really clear night.
I was dead sober that time lol. I didn't think SA was far enough south to see the aurora australis, but it was visible with the naked eye, however faint.How much had you lit up before this?
