Re: [APML] Aurora!!

Hi Chris,
 This was the first Aurora I've seen and it was quite a show!!! Some of the
flares stretched close to the meridian and to me
looked pink and red with some light green. I had Kodak E200 loaded in my
camera so I tried shooting some with a 24mm lens stopped down two f/stops.
Not knowing what the exposures should be I tried several from 30 sec. to 2
minutes. I'm hoping I get something from them. I am located 20 miles south
of Ithaca NY @ 42.6N.

 Joe.
