I hear that very rarely is is more red (higher energy particles). I was hoping to see them again while I was up in Barrow as the sky is so much darker and get a better picture.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-10147445543328991232012-01-29T07:45:34.480-09:002012-01-29T07:45:34.480-09:00No exciting colors?

Green & pink dancing across the sky, it was beautiful, you are pretty lucky if you get to see them regularly. I can only imagine what the temperature was when you were outside, brrrrrr.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-1373380158625094732012-01-27T19:29:39.617-09:002012-01-27T19:29:39.617-09:00And this pales to the show I normally see in Fairb...And this pales to the show I normally see in Fairbanks. The advantage here is the dark sky.

I also turned off auto ISO and manually set it to 3200 and tried exposures at 2", 5", & 10" all at wide open aperture. I tried one shot at ISO 800 and 10" exposure but ended up with nothing. Maybe if it's clear I'll try it again but it was pretty cold at -35°F and windy.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-83528710128803497562012-01-27T10:30:47.246-09:002012-01-27T10:30:47.246-09:00ya know, that's pretty steady holding you got ...ya know, that's pretty steady holding you got going there with a 5 sec exposure time! <br /><br />dom<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://redlegsrides.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Redleg's Rides</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-14097-Colorado-Motorcycle-Travel-Examiner" rel="nofollow">Colorado Motorcycle Travel Examiner</a>redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-50708648495268704132012-01-27T07:04:55.689-09:002012-01-27T07:04:55.689-09:00Richard:

I find that you have to take your camera OFF "auto ISO", set for something around iso:400 and +EC about 1 stop, but then you would need a tripod <em>(or a bean bag)</em><br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
