My friend Margaret Sonnemann is preparing a 3rd edition of her perennial favourite THE AURORA CHASER'S HANDBOOK and I just read through it - wow! Now updated with new scientific discoveries (some of them even pioneered by Margaret's own Aurora Australis Tasmania Facebook group), even more details on how to find and photograph aurorae, and packed with gorgeous new aurora photography, this book is even more beautiful and informative than the first edition was.

A useful and inspiring book for those wanting to catch the southern lights. Lovely photos of the lady Dancing. If you have got the first edition of this book, this book has new information but maybe not that much to justify buying the second edition.
