Love the Nebula and the Northern Lights. I've never had the necessary gear for either type of photography: The motorized mount or the long lens. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your reply. You don't need much to get good northern Lights pictures. If your camera will shoot in Bulb or up to 30 second exposures you should be fine. Also a wide angle lens is the best. A telephoto lens won't help at all..I know Oregon is quite rainy but if you have clear skies tonight take a look , I got an email from Space weather saying there's a possibility of Aurora. We're coming into a period of high solar activity.
Here's the letter:
GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A persistent G1-class geomagnetic storm on Oct 13th (still
underway as this alert is being written) has sparked bright auroras around the
Arctic Circle, spurring reports of Northern Lights from Scandinavia, Greenland,
Canada, and several northern-tier US states. More auroras are in the offing.
NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of continued storms on Oct. 14-15 in
response to a high-speed stream of solar wind. Check http://spaceweather.com for
images and updates.
.Good luck, Wheezer
