A few exposures I've used for the Nothern Lights:
Samyang 14mm @ f/3.5, 10 sec @ ISO 2500
Opteka 6.5mm @ f/4.0, 30 sec @ ISO 3200
Samyang 35mm @ f/2.0, 2 sec @ ISO6400
Bower 8mm @ f/3.5, 30 sec @ ISO3200
Set up on a solid tripod and use a remote timer to capture an hour or so of images.
It all depends how bright they are. Sometimes they're bright enough to shoot video of them. Sometimes you can just faintly see them. Sometimes you only see greens. With the stronger ones you'll see the full rainbow of colors.

Thanks for the post. Went to Alaska for ten days last September right after a sunburst which makes the Aurora more prominent. went with the full intention of getting lots of photos, so for ten days the sun was out for eight hours and the stars maybe ten minutes between the raindrops. Fun vacation, my daughter who lives there told me the sun came out the day after I left and so did the Aurora.

My pleasure. Too bad you didn't get the pics. :(
