The whole sky was green, purple, I had a hard time deciding where to aim my cameras! Here are 3 pictures taken from a long series to make an animation of the movement. Nikon D3s , 10 000 ASA, 10.5 mm f2.8 set at full frame to get wider than the Dx format ! the last one was taken with a Nikon D3 with a 28mm f1.4 at 3200 ASA

I got some good shots by timing my outing between astronomical twilight and moonrise. Photo Details: Canon EOS 50D [modified IR response in Hα range], hooded Sigma EF-S 30mm ƒ/1.4 EX DC HSM prime [ø62mm], ISO 3200, 5 sec. exposure, ƒ/1.4, tripod, 2 second shutter holdoff.

Missed the major part of the storm (wrong side of the planet) but was treated to a brief bright show during the night.

Very nice Northern lights, even though it wasn´t so strong but it is in Vallentuna in august!!! See video here.

When news of a possible aurora opportunity was announced, I drove to the darkest place I could think of within a reasonable distance of my home - the Silver Lake State Park near Mears, Michigan. While I only actually saw a few pillars of the Aurora for a brief moment, it wasn't anything "photographic". Since the night sky looked lovely with the lighthouse, I decided to photograph anyway. I do believe I managed to pick up some ambient colors of the Northern Lights due to the very long exposure times - the camera was facing due north. It was such a nice evening out it made getting home about 4am actually worth it! Canon 40D, tripod, Tamron 10-17mm fisheye lens, about a 4 minute exposure at ISO 400, f 3.5
