Details:
On October 1, I was set up to take an all night Milky Way time-lapse using a Bower 8mm fisheye lens on fixed tripod at Cherry Springs Dark Sky Park. Camera being used was a Full Spectrum modified XSi with Astronomik UV/IR clip filter. Around midnight someone on the observing field noticed bright auroral beams to the North. When you watch the fisheye lens animation, you can see reds of the Aurora beginning on the left side (North). I then re-aimed the fisheye lens to the North and continued to capture continuous 60 second exposures at ISO 1600 and f3.5. I also set up a Canon T3i camera with 18-55mmm kit lens aimed at Polaris and began taking 30 second exposures at 18mm, ISO 1600 and f3.5. We don't usually get to see an aurora in Northern PA, so it was real treat.
