>Dat feel when unusually much aurora activity all over my country at the moment, but where I am it has been cloudy for weeks and will if the weather shamans are correct continue.

Speak English, Pajeet

Possible Aurora tonight for Aus bros.
Was apparently one last night at 3am too.

>>4372113
They have aurora borealis in India?

At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of the country, localised entirely within your sky?

I'm getting WILD colors with just 1/4th at f/1.2, ISO 800.

>>4372243
I use an EOS M for whatever reason now. Small and cheap and good enough. It's producing some BASED results.

>>4372245
What lens are you using? I have an m50 m2 and am stuck using the stock lens since it has the lowest of f/3.5 of the lens I have. Still have to use 8k iso to pick up any real color. Although where I'm at it can't be seen with the naked eye.

Outside of that fence all my neighbours have their lights and shit on, I'm pulling an all nighter and hope they aren't as well , shits gonna get very good from 3am for everyone on the southern coast.

>>4372384
Think I'll stay up and have a drive up to the nearby mountains. Not sure if NSW is gonna get a good look anyway

>>4372385
I don't know if it's going to be brighter than yesterday morning but it should still be a biggun, good luck anon, hopefully the mountains save you from the godforsaken LED's.

My chink lens (yongnuo 11mm f1.8) performed pretty satisfactorily.

The aurora was literally over my house.

I drove 3 hours to the nearest dark site and it didn't disappoint. Naked eye visible green and pink aurora 360 around with a corona effect overhead, with pulsing waves.

This and the one I'm posting now are with no color edits. I took about 600 shots and am in the process of editing each set into a timelapse, and also a stacked HDR version.

you don't want longer than 3 seconds exposure unless you really just want a photo of colorful blur

>>4373719
They were pretty diffuse in my area anyways. I did a test round at 1.5 seconds first and it wasn't bright enough without increasing ISO. My last set from the May 10 event shot at 2 sec 1000 ISO ended up too noisy so I didn't want to end up in that situation again.

>>4373683
keep us updated anon, I'm eager to see more aurora shots

Your white balance is a touch too warm and seems to have some magenta tint

Good catch, I'm admittedly terrible at spotting white balance. I thought it was the magenta from the aurora but it was way out of line. Still a tad magenta here maybe, but if I tilt too much the other way the greens look too vivid and overedited
