I stepped out of the house Tuesday night, and was treated to one of the
most spectacular displays of the Northern Lights I have ever seen up
here. (Northern Vermont)
To the astrophotographers on this list, I ask: How is this phenomenon
best recorded on film? Where does this type of light fall within the
spectrum? I want to be able to record this with decent contrast, as
well as showing some of the brighter stars. (I have an OM-1, a 2S and
28, 35, 40, 50 and 100 Zuikos and plenty of Kodachrome)
As an aside, I was also trying to figure out how "fast" these ripples of
light were moving. . . .I am no physicist, but a quick amateur
guestimate makes me think it might be pretty darn fast.
