Went aurora chasing last night and was rewarded with a pretty good show around 1am! Had to brave -35F, the KP did great.

A nice series. I saw a TV program explaining the aurora a few days ago. It gives me quite a different perspective on what is going on there.

What ISO level did you use??

skierd · 01-06-2019, 05:12 PM

From 1600 to 6400, all of these happened to be at 3200. Shooting RAW; the noise performance on the KP is amazing.

Fantastic! No 3 would make a lovely metal print to hang on the wall...

Wow !!! jaw dropping good.....but, sorry - 35 just does not compute... we are expecting +42C in a couple of days.

Thanks for posting this set of amazing images, reminds me of our years in the Yukon, unfortunately before digital imaging, was hard to do on film.
