Reply to comment by loosebolts in Aurora Australis seen just an hour from Perth at Mount Dale [OC] 4662 x 3142 by VLWphotography

I already said that last bit of my comment... Anyway, never understood the need to differentiate between the two. They are both Aurora Polaris and look the same.

Edit: here is a picture someone in DK took yesterday. This is how it normally looks in Denmark. Not only the green color you typically see when you are directly underneath it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/11e2src/jeg_ville_ogs%C3%A5_v%C3%A6re_med_p%C3%A5_nordlys_b%C3%B8lgen_s%C3%A5_var/

I thought that the aurora australis was different colours though, with a lot more pinks and purples like this shot, where the borealis is most often green?
