Splindid pictures, John. I would have liked to have seen some indication of
the time they were taken, and possibly some mention of the exposure (manual
settings or auto).

I have looked at the Metadata for a few and see ISO 800, exposure over 8
seconds and at F2.8. Time for 0013 was 19.45.

Hello Bernard,

I have updated the web page to include this info. All were taken in manual
mode about 20:00 gmt.

hopefully I will be able to provide a download section so that folk can see
the pics as they came straight out of the camera.

I am delighted that so many have looked at them. It took about 5mins or so
from posting the link here before I ran out of bandwidth on the first
attempt to publish them to the net. I shall be leaving them at both sites
for now. Many thanks to everyone that has written back.

I agree - splendid pictures - I'd like to see the originals :-)

And here they are, completely untouched. Some of the pictures I took are in
RAW format and are huge files, so I have not included them. The JPEGS
however, are as they came out of the camera.

Much appreciated John. As far as I can fathom it is the best display of
aurora I have seen in the 4 years I have been on UK science weather. Thanks
for x posting from UK sicence astronomy and sharing with us on uk science
weather. I think I have a read of your ng to see what interesting things you
have there :-)

Regards, Gavin.

Many thanks John. Those exposure details could come in very handy if and
when we get a display down here in the south, coinciding with clear skies.
