Guys i tried for the first time to get some photos of the Northen Lights. Last night was a very rare occurrence to have visibility of them so i attempted it. Below is what i got.
Here's what i tried. F4 (Widest my lens goes) @ 24mm and 5-10 sec exposure ... letting ISO go where it needed to. Also had lens on manual focus at infinity. I suspect even though i was using a tripod i should have set the camera on a timer as many have blurry foreground etc? I am only guessing as i have never tried nigh time photos? Any help would be appreciated as to what to do next time.
