Wow! The sky last night was just spectacular with the whole western and north-western sky aglow with a halo of bright orange light. Everyone out walking was looking up at the sky and taking pictures…the colour was even more vivid than the last images that I’ve been posting here over the last couple of days :-)
This volcanic dust is from the Hunga-Tonga volcanic eruption that happened back in January and it seems to have settled up high in our atmosphere here in the Southern Hemisphere…. I’ve noticed that the particles must be very fine as the stars shine through the material, unlike when there’s a bush fire and the sky is very opaque.

My images were taken at 6.pm an hour after sunset with a Canon 70D camera and a Tamron 18-400mm lens set at 18mm. The first image is an exposure of 4 seconds and ISO 200; second image is an exposure of 6 seconds and ISO 200.
