Do you ever find that the LX overexposes by trying to lighten up all
that dark sky?

Thanks for the tips guys! Looks like I will have to borrow a
spotmeter to get a starting point and bracket a lot from there.
Jostein, those are absolutely awesome pictures of aurora. The rest
of the site is very nice, too

Hi Mike,
I've found auroras, at least at my latitude, to be even more variable and
inconsistent as to timing of appearances. Electricity, it's kin magnetism,
and the solar wind appear to be very fickle lovers.

Michal,
The aurora is very variable.
I've only had two good shoots with it, and on both occations, the LX
metering saved my day, or night if you like.
I've got the best from both shoots on my website, and as you'll see,
