[QUOTE="everprentice, post: 247571, member: 19874"] I am lucky to have photographed Auroras. Here are some things I personally think is necessary. 1. Good winter gear. You don't know how long you will be standing in the cold so survival is top priority. 2. Charge your batteries, including your phone. Again, in case of emergency you need to call for help. 3. Flashlight. You need to see where you are going. 4. A good, sturdy tripod. It might get windy and it might get very cold turning your tripod adjustment knobs is work. 5. Fast wide lens. I use an UWA and a fast 35mm f/1.8 DX on MF to infinity. I use the former for long exposures and I use the 35mm for shorter exposures. I like shorter exposures because the colored striations in the sky are evident in the resulting photograph. I then take a panorama using multiple exposures. Enjoy shooting and keep warm! [/QUOTE]
