It should be a good night tonight and tomorrow night to see the northern lights.

To me, if you have to use a camera to see the Northern Lights, you aren't really seeing them.

Better than just seeing pics online!! Thanks for posting MJM I'll be watchin'

KeithC It looks like you can leave your camera home.

Very nice.

I hope so. I always look and have never seen them. It always irritates me when relatively local people I know talk about how wonderful the Northern Lights are and post awesome pictures, when we've watched for them, with no luck. Everytime I have asked they couldn't actually see them, without the cameras, except for a little light on the horizon.

I would really like to see an awesome display of the Northern Lights before I die.

What do they mean by with a camera? Like, a camera with a zoom lens or??

People set their cameras to a longer exposure time. Even some better cell phone cameras can do that now.

Keith

Your iPhone on normal exposure will capture northern lights that are not visible to the naked eye.

But not well in Southern states, where you need a longer exposure to get a stronger image.

I took pictures with out knowing what I was going to see in the picture. It wasn't of the norther lights though. Lay down and stick your arm as far as you can reach down the hole and take a picture. Pull you arm out and look to see how you did.

That's a good picture. I would like to eat puffin.

Keith

Wow them's is purdy

Was that tonight already hobbie???

Some people can see that happening with the naked eye. Some can’t…but the iPhone always enhances it.

Yes.

geeezz I guess I better go see if I can find them.

It’s to the Northwest of me.
