As an Alaskan, I'm fortunate enough to see the aurora fairly frequently. =
I've tried
a few times to shoot 'em (flat) with marginal to fair success. I had my =
best results
with exposures of 15 to 25 seconds (100 asa). During the exposure the =
Aurora
move, at times rapidly, but the curtains tend to move in a plain so =
edges get
defined but I've never gotten good color. I'm not sure how the pros get =
the razor sharp reds and blues, I end up with muddy green. (perhaps I =
should switch to
K 64? ;-) )=20

I've been thinking about trying to shoot them in stereo, but the gear =
requirements
have made me wait. Since I'd be shooting something moving, I'd need
synchronized cameras. The Aurora (I think) occur at over 50,000 ft. and =
can be
10,000 ft. high, so I'm guessing the cameras would need to be separated =
by
somewhere around a hundred yards (over that distance a radio trigger =
should work,
even with auroral disturbance).

Now all I need is a second Nikon F w/ 55mm lens, a radio trigger, and a =
week or
two off to hang out a some lodge in the bush (for darkness) waiting for =
a good=20
auroral display. If somebody wants to finance the venture right away I'd =
even try to
get the comet in the shot :-).
