Re: [APML] [Fwd: Aug 17 Aurora shots - finally!]

Thanks Steve! It would be tricky to get anything besides bright stars 
when shooting aurora. I was remiss in not giving the photo details (lost 
in my struggle with WS_FTP which seems to be okay now).

All pics were same as follows:

Nikon F2 with DW-2 right angle 6x viewfinder
Zenitar 16mm f2.8 fisheye at f2.8 (Dom, honest!)
Supra 400 (old stuff)
30 seconds
