I struck paydirt once again with the automated robotic Aurora Cam we built, we had three frames with a deep red aurora on the northern horizon, just under the bowl of the dipper. This was a photographic aurora for us, none was seen visually for certain. We used a 16mm zenitar fisheye lens at f/3.5 and Supra 400 film for a 10 minute exposure. The rest of the frames had the aurora fading, and after about 30 minutes, it was gone.

The camera picked up a bit of purple in one image. For the most part, they were a bit faint green and sometimes red but still put on a good show. Photo details: Sony Cybershot DSC-4717 digital camera, 200 ASA, f2.0, 30s exposure.

I was out at Baker Lake for 2 hours watching the lights. The display was nearly colorless [to the human eye, but the camera picked up the colors shown here], with rays extending 40 degrees in elevation at the peak of the display (12:40am-1am Pacific Daylight Time). Canon Digital Rebel, 30 to 40 second exposures, 18mm f3.5 lens.

Nice purple aurora. Not very bright, but a neat sight nevertheless. Taken w/ a Canon 10D w/ a 28mm lens. 30 sec exposures at ISO800.

They were pretty bright, I could see them from the city of Vancouver. Pentax *istD DSLR, SMC DA 14mm F2.8 lens

They started right at dark and I watched 'til midnight, but my husband got up from 2-3:00 am. and said it was still going strong. We had purple rays and green curtains with visible movement. Canon 10D, 20mm lens, 20 sec. I took one with the setting crescent moon. Another highlight about 10:20 was a great, greenish fireball going south to north which burst into smaller, orange pieces and lit up the whole ground. Sorry no picture.

Taken somewhat by surprise I didn't bother trying to be artistic, just tried to capture the moment. Having taken the image shortly after sunset, the exposure was a bit tricky. With the drought on Auroras lately it seems I've gotten a bit out of practice. Kodak 200 asa film, f2.8 @ 10 seconds

The Auroras lasted about 4 hours or so as a diffuse glow. There were about 3 or 4 short periods where pillars and red beams appeared and moved slowly across the sky. A nice surprise! Image taken with a Canon 10D.

Thois aurora was taked whit Canon Digital rebel camera at 1600ASA whit fisheye lent 15 secondes exposed.

This aurora was so faint we visually could not distinguish it from background light pollution. However, the camera revealed the presence of aurora. Canon Digital Rebel with a Sigma 24mm @ f1.8 - 30 Seconds @ ASA 400.

The clouds cleared up around 10:30pm and revealed this wonderful green light illuminating the northern skies. At some times, we saw great violet pillars over the green arc. A great show :) Nikon Coolpix 4500, 400ISO, approx. 30 seconds
