Aurora Chaser's Handbook – How to Find and Photograph the Aurora Australis | Margaret Sonnemann | 2nd Edition 2022 [NEW – SC]

Margaret Sonnemann's practical guide to finding and photographing the Aurora Australis — the southern lights — over Tasmania and southern Australia.

Tasmania sits at the right latitude to see the aurora regularly during periods of high solar activity, and the island's dark skies — away from mainland city light pollution — give exceptional viewing conditions. The Tasmanian Midlands in particular, including the country around Ross and Campbell Town, offers some of the darkest night skies in the island's accessible areas. Ross is actively developing as a dark sky destination.

The handbook covers how to predict aurora events using solar activity data, where and when to position yourself for the best viewing, and — crucially — how to photograph what you see, since the aurora often appears differently to a camera than to the naked eye.

Colour illustrated throughout, this is a practical guide for anyone serious about chasing southern lights in Tasmania. The 2nd edition published in 2022 is revised and updated from the original.
