Thanks for the post. Quite spectacular!
We get Auroras quite often over our ranch in central Alberta but not quite as colorful as those in Alaska, short video at:

A couple of still attached from April 2012; one of the best displays we've seen.
Enjoy!

You can't go wrong with Northern Lights, except maybe a bit of frostbite...

The Northern Lights have been exceptionally beautiful and active lately here in Alaska. That is a gorgeous video you posted. Thank you!
I tried my hand at capturing them. I went online and wrote down the suggested settings for my camera. I was so excited when a week ago they were very pretty right from my front deck. And, it wasn't very cold out. Out I went with my tripod and my camera. I set my camera according to online advice. And I snapped several photos as the lights were dancing across the sky. I took a peek to make sure that the settings were working and...
nothing. My pictures were completely black. :( So I adjusted a few things and ... again, nothing. I must be doing something wrong.
In the meantime, the lights were coming and going (they fade in and out rather quickly). I was afraid I was going to miss it, so I threw my camera onto "auto," (I know, a big no-no) and while they aren't the best photos, at least I was able to capture a bit of them.
I will keep practicing. :)

Better to catch something than nothing. I wonder what you were off on- maybe ISO was on auto. Hope you get another chance- I hope to see them live one day.
