a couple of us decided to try to see the northern lights on monday evening. we went out between 12:30 and 1:30 am, but didn’t get much of a show. hopefully they’ll get better as the nights get colder. i got good pictures of the stars, though, and caught some of the green glow in the last one.
(i know these pictures are a little small to see so let me know if you want to see them bigger. i got a few really great ones of Orion.)

I like the Orion pic on the right.
Have you tried a ’star track’ photo by putting the camera on a tripod and leaving the lens open for 15 or 20 minutes focused at infinity? Use the B setting for the shutter speed.
