A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Stu what kind of exposures and ISO settings are we looking at here?

If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

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 smile.gif

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... smile.gif

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...
