Aurora Photography...

[gobes]

Hi all,

It's been a long time since I visited this site. But wanted to share some aurora pics that I took while in Norway several months ago.

On a related topic. I want to dust of my telescope and start trying to get some images with it. I live in a heavily light polluted area... so I'm guessing that the moon is probably my best option. Can anybody give me a quick link to an easy to follow step-by-step for using DSLRs with telescope for astro photography? I will of course also trawl through the threads on here ;-)

Also: I've read that you can image using smartphones through telescope lenses (for filming planets etc) - is it any good?

Thanks.

Those are very nice images indeed. good sky detail and colour, with strong foreground interest - that is something I would dearly love to see

Thanks :-)

Only had my Canon 650D, standard (crappy) 18-55mm lens and a borrowed lightweight tripod, which was being blown about quite a bit. So I was absolutely ecstatic when these came out ;-)
