Details:
Here are some photos of what I call the "volcanic gegenschein" - a bright orange-purple glow visible 360 degrees along the horizon up to one hour after local sunset, undoubtedly caused by the stratospheric volcanic aerosols from the Huna-Tonga eruption in January, which are still lingering in the southern hemisphere skies.
The first two photographs are looking northeast, and the remainder are looking to the southeast, where you can see Scorpio rising against this eerie glow. The photos aren't great, as I am just learning to use the Nikon camera, but the colour of the sky is true to the naked eye.
