No Northern Lights...Night Shots instead

[Bend The Light]

I went out to see if I could capture the Norther Lights, Aurora borialis, which were supposed to be visible much further south than usual. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything of the sort. So, I had a go at capturing some night shots, long exposures, etc. I've never done night shots before, so how do you think this turned out?

It was completely dark (well, obviously not, but you know what I mean) when I took this one...

Here's Venus...
