Pierre,
One night I was testing a few lenses with a roll of Superia 800 on my roof in NYC, and when I got prints back, the results were too green for my liking, so I discounted using Superia as an astro film. Later, after doing some checking, it turns out that there was auroral activity that night, visible deep into the South, and I actually caught that on film. I now mostly shoot medium format on slide film (Kodak E200 & Fuji Provia 400), though I may try to get back to some prime focus work soon.

Thanks Taras, I appreciate you writing. That's too bad to hear your photos of that night didn't pan out. Sure was an amazing display... best I've seen!
Maybe get some more surprises even with solar minima approaching.

Pierre,
Nice composition. If I recall correctly, that night the film in my SRT101 did not wind, and I lost a whole nights work of guided astrophotos. I do remember seeing the curtains to the northwest. I wasn't too upset, as I was using an ST4 autoguider that night, and enjoying the display.

Hey Shane,
Thanks! The person was actually pure luck. When I started the exposure, it was only on the scope. Then by chance, someone happened walk to the eyepiece and stayed there until the exposure was done  )

Hey Pierre,
Great capture of this auroral display! I really like the way you used the person and the telescope for the foreground point of reference. It makes for a classic and unique shot! Well done Pierre !
