QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Jun 16 2010, 04:54 PM)  Stu what kind of exposures and ISO settings are we looking at here? A variety, but I'd say the best ones were exposures of between 6s and 8s, set at 200 or 400 ASA. Tripod mounted camera, with a ten second time delay just to ensure all vibrations were dampened down by the time the exposure started. Really pleased with the castle ones; I've been down here in Kendal 6 years now, and the first time I went up there I fell in love with the castle, and thought what a great place it would be to photograph the NLC. But since then conditions have never been just right - faint display, wrong direction, etc. Last night everything was shiny, and the results aren't bad at all, I think  Updated gallery: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1810...mp;l=52998ed817 -------------------- |

Subtle display of NLC seen from the Castle this morning... nothing too dramatic, just gentle and wafty... :-)

No sign of any NLC activity whatsoever last night, not from here in Kendal anyway, but on the plus side I watched a lovely bright pass of the ISS, saw a cloud shaped exactly like a rabbit, and got to try out my new furry-eared, mega-warm Deputy Dawg observing hat, so not a bad way to end/start the day...

Another frustrating half-****d display last night... Getting the distinct feeling that the NLC are laughing at me this year...

I won't give what I saw last night the title of "display" because it doesn't deserve it...
