I spotted what looked to be faint aurora on the northern horizon at 11:45pm Sept 3rd. Later, around 2:30am, I awoke to these northern lights! They were quite faint, but still worth the effort. They came and went until dawn. Pentax k1000, 24 mm at f/2.8 on Fuji 400 film.

Ribbons started this night of display in forms I had only seen in Alaskan pictures. I marvel at its choice of display and I cannot capture the pictures fast enough. It has been so long, I have to calm myself down so I won't make a mistake.

Here is one of several photos taken of the Sept 3rd aurora that caught almost everyone by surprise. I was trying to photograph the distant glow of the Oregon wildfire near Westfir when the aurora began capture my peripheral vision. I soon lost interest in trying to spot the distant glowing hillsides and spent the next hour shooting the unexpected fire in the sky. I used Provia 400F at F 2.0 with a Nikor 35mm wide angle F1.4 lens. Exposure time was about 15 seconds. Film was push processed 1.5 stops. John Flinn

Taken in Alaska on October 31st, 1991. This light vortex probably followed the ion trail of a atmosphere grazing meteor and went horizon to horizon in a tight spiral. Note the belt of Orion in the trees. It was taken with a 20mm Nikor lens, 20 second exposure at F 2.8 using Kodachrome 200 film pushed two stops. There was virtually no movement of this band of light for over 1 minute, then it opened slowly to a flame like form. John Flinn.

This is a photo that is a sequel to the "light vortex" photo sent earlier. It was taken 2 minutes later using a 20mm Nikor @ F 2.8, 20 second exposure on Kodachrome 200 slide film pushed 2 stops during the night of October 31st, 1991. Notice the constellations of Auriga, Taurus and Perseus. This band of light crossed the entire sky in line with the Milky Way. It really looks like a flame at this stage of its development. It went on to expand and cover the entire sky with diffuse bands of light. John Flinn.

Sometime the aurora has to compete with a half moon and clouds. I could see the vibrating action of the sky being dazzled by the magnetic field and it was subtle and pulsating for left to right or up and down. The wind had discovered the many scattered popcorn clouds and was moving them on there way. The speed of the clouds made for white steaks mixed in with the greens and reds of the aurora. I could not see the color, only the vibrating sky. Taken with Pentex 1000, Fuji 400, 2.8 mm for 7 seconds. Suzanne Ruby Elk, Washington

For two days the wind had been blowing from 30 - 50 miles per hour, all day and night. This night the wind was staying above the trees. Sometimes I take pictures even if there is not much color in the sky because you just never know what will show up on the film. Its always a surprise. 4 -19 - 02

This image was taken on one of those extremely rare northwest winter days that was actually clear! It was taken by Bill Cotten in December 99 . Nearly two dozen sunspots are clearly visible. The image was shot through a University Optics 80mm f/6.25 refractor using an Olympus OM-1 SLR loaded with Kodak Gold 200 ASA film. The telescope was fitted with a filter made from Baader AstroSolar Safety Film.	I shot that picture using my Palm and the $99 PalmPix. Its a bad picture of the moon, but one giant leap for a Palm handheld (with apologies to Neil Armstrong) Considering how these technologies are improving, taking snapshots through the telescope may become surprisingly common place!

Anza-Borrego State Park, Blair Valley. 12-15-01 I tried out a Nikon D1 digital camera to do some astrophotography of Orion's Belt and it was great seeing instant results and determining how long I can go without trails occurring. It's also nice to know how the special effects are going, then carry over those results to the film camera. I still think film is the way to go foremost astro photos. The digital cameras are very battery dependent and the digital gives off a weird "noise" in shadow areas. I would very much like to use the digital camera for a fair portion of my night work. Any suggestions for night photography with the D1 are welcome.

Many people claim that witnessing the northern lights is a spiritual experience for them. I guess it's true, as this "spirit" seems to be enjoying the aurora shimmering over Denali! I took this photo on January 18, 2003 from an overlook between Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. Although the lights were not very intense, the full moon provided enough illumination to make this look almost like a daytime shot. See more photos by: Scott McGee
