Re: [APML] Aurora pics from July 24

Chris-

Thanks, I set it to fully manual, ISO400 and some ISO800, exposed for 
approx. 30 secs depending on what I was shooting, f/3.5 with the kit lens at 
wide angle for most.  I zoomed in one the one hydrogen arc shot.  Yea, I 
need to get a faster wide angle lens someday.   I look forward to seeing 
your pics of the display.
