I got an alert on my 'phone this evening from Lancaster University Aurora Alert system, I checked the weather and clear skies were forecast, so after our Haggis we loaded up the pony and set sail for our favourite viewing location at the top of Gawthwaite, near Kirkby Moor.
Amid bonfires and fireworks, we enjoyed a wonderful hour long show of the Aroroa Borealis. Either our eyes became tired or the show faded but about a quarter past midnight we called it off and came back to process the images.
I have enough images to make a short time lapse movie so I will knock that up tomorrow and post that as well.
This is probably the best... 10 second exposures, at 20 second intervals. Nikon D300s, Nikkor 50mm f1.4 @ f4, ISO 1600, delayed shutter and 'normal' long exposure Noise Reduction. A bit of PP in Lightroom to lift the contrast and pull back the blown blacks.
