Re: [APML] New Images - The Aurora Borealis of 9/7/02

["Stan Richard" <stanrichard@hotmail.com>]

Chris, your shots look good!  Fuji Provia 400 is supposedly the *new* aurora 
film although I've seen good results with lots of different films.  I like 
that one and for color neg film the Fuji NPZ 800 Pro is good, it's what I 
used for Sat.nite's display (link below).  I've had good luck with Kodak 
E200 also, pushed a stop or 2 depending on the brightness of the aurora.  
Alot of folks use the Superia 800, check out Dom Cantin's shots at the 
spaceweather.com gallery.  Basically, you experiment til you like what you 
see I guess.
