My first Aurora and the LIDAR

Today was an exciting day (ok it was actually night but who is being picky).

It was dark enough and the conditions were right to see an Aurora Australis or the Sothern Lights.

Jeff also had the LIDAR running which is a big laser that shoots into the sky to measure atmospheric conditions.

I have not yet perfected my camera skills on taking photos of the Aurora so I do not have many good shots, but hopefully there will be more opportunities.
