These are my favorite pics. I took them Sunday evening during one of the best shows ever. The first pic is facing northwest and second pic is facing north. Both pic's were taken on a Cannon EOS, with 800ASA at 30 sec. exposure. |

This aurora was one of the most spectacular events I have ever witnessed. The photos don't capture the activity and size of the aurora which coverd 3/4s of the entire sky. The ribbons and streams of the aurora were 'pulsing' from the North towards an area in the sky that was a bit North of the Orion constellation. These photos were taken with a Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom mounted on a tripod. |

They call this the 'Southern Lights' here in the South Island of New Zealand. These were both 15 second exposures at f stop 2.0 it was pitch black out side when I took these on time lapse. You can see amazing streaking bursting upward, just like sun rays! |

A very beautiful auroral display 2 miles away from the ontario candian border and near Niagara Falls. I used Kodak E200 slide film with an exposure of 50 secs, and 1 minute, at f/2.8 with a 28mm nikon lens. |

These auroras were very dynamic and bright and thought to be a result of solar activity from AR 10696 (N09W49) on 10th November at ~2UT. Photo details: Canon EOS 300D, 800 ISO, 6s exposure. |

This aurora appeared over rural Tekonsha, Michigan enticing a first-timers attempt at capturing the display at 10:30 PM EST, with a Ricoh XR-10, Vivitar 28-200 lens set at 28 mm F3.5, 400 ASA, 16s exposure. You can see the home lights at ground in the first photo, with a plane appearing in the second. A spectacular display, and one we're glad we observed first-hand to forever exclaim, 'the heavens declare the glory of God!' |

Minolta QTsi, 28mm lense/F5.6, Kodak Pro Color 400, 25-60s, some frames double exposed. The shores of Lake Michigan offered the best place away from city lights. What an awesome display! |
