Abstract
SINCE July 1958 the red oxygen (6300 A.) airglow has been recorded at Camden, near Sydney (geomagnetic latitude 42° S.), with a sky-scanning photometer. This instrument has been described by St. Amand1. These observations frequently detected greatly enhanced emission towards the south, and less often structures such as arcs and rays. We interpret these as auroræ, usually sub-visual, though on seven nights auroræ were seen.
