Thanks Peter_S!

Seeing your photo made me really curious about trying myself, but I understand it's not that simple :)

Hi!

It is not really difficult, actually. The files of the M246 are quite flexible...unless you need to manipulate the sky too much (banding).

When photographing the Northern Lights in B/W the focus must be structure, not colors...that is more the crux. Converting a color Northern Lights images into B/W never worked for me. Shooting them up front in B/W did. I have many Northern Lights images. The B/W ones I prefer for some reason.

Yes, I live part-time in Narvik/Norway, and work as ski guide in Northern Norway. Seeing them, at least once in a lifetime, should be high on your list.
 

For a starter you need aurora in the night sky, do you live sufficiently far north to see one. I would love to see one, even more to photograph it.

:-) i can see that, it states Narvik under your Avatar.  Post #906 was for Mr Fjeld.

Sorry for the late reply Mladen, I'm afraid work got the best of me.

I'm familiar with Aurora Borrealis as I served in the military close to Tromsø, and also studied at the university there.

I now live in Bergen on the south west coast of Norway, but we occasionally see it here too. I'm not to sure how successful it will be with Astro photography in my whereabouts due to the light coming from the town centre?

Ah, at least you are native of Norway, so Aurora is pretty much local phenomenon, your chances are bigger than mine. 

 

Occasionally, here in UK, we hear in the media that conditions are right and it can be seen in the northern parts of the country but i am not sure anyone ever made observation to match one you can make in northern Norway.

 

Reminds me of a story I heard from my father who said he saw one in 1940 as a child, he was living at the time in Eastern Croatia which is roughly 45 degrees north. Apparently at the time the saying was that appearance of Aurora was harbinger of war, soon enough in 1941 the country was overrun by Hitler.
