Adding this little video to my thread. It's not a great video, captured as an after thought. But does show two things...

https://vimeo.com/1149188863/513d029b1e

Firstly, the speed of an active aurora in real time. You see ripples moving across the sky in this footage, and the colour shifts. Some auroras barely move at all, others on this night were racing much faster still. They vary a lot. But hopefully this footage conveys the dynamic nature of auroras.

The other thing this footage demonstrates is the different between still photos and video. A 4sec exposure for the stills, versus 1/25th of second for video. This was shot on a Lumix S9 with an F2.8 lens and ISO 128000. A faster lens would help, not to mention waiting for a moonlit aurora event :)

Got a wonderful opportunity to shoot with the 11mm Fisheye last night. Still not sure this is the lens for me, but definitely can see the value of such a wide perspective on such a big night of auroras.

Here's a little sequence from a timelapse series below. If you want to watch the video, there's a copy of that now posted on my tubes:

This lens by the way is an 11mm Fisheye F2.8 by TT Artisan. It's noticeably darker than their 14mm F2.8, and even though it's very very small it's noticeably heavier too. These are very affordable lenses and offer a decent ratio of fun:spend :)

@ewen Very illuminating, in more ways than one. Thanks. Been wanting to see an aurora for ages but it's just hard to get to the right place at the right time.
