In the bright area are just to the left of centre of the photo the Southern Cross, Alpha and Beta Centauri, the Coal Sack Dark Nebula are visible. To the right of the Southern Cross the bright Great Nebula in Carina can be seen. Star birth and death is ongoing in this nebula. In 1843 a massive super nova explosion occurred briefly making Carina the brightest object in the sky. The Carina Nebula is probably my favourite deep sky object.
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds which are dwarf galaxies that orbit our own Milky Way galaxy can both be seen above the roof of the house. The Magellanic Clouds are named after Ferdinand Magellan who was the Portuguese explorer that led the Spanish oceanic expedition of 1519-1522 sailing right around the world to achieve the first recorded circumnavigation of the Earth.
These deep sky objects are normally visible with the naked eye in the bortle 3 sky above our property. On this occasion the Aurora provided a gigantic red filter for the whole sky from the zenith right down to the horizon in all directions.
Never in my life have I seen such a thing. Whether we get to see a such a strong Aurora like this again remains to be seen. With the Sun currently being at a solar maximum for activity this is entirely possible.
