Hi everyone,

Thanks for the info, Jim.
I have photographed both Iridium and Aurorae Australis in the past from
South Australia (35 deg South) and would class an Iridium Flare during an
Auroral display as an extremely rare event from my latitude.  But over the
next couple of years, who knows?

cheers
Craig
