If you fiddle with it a bit more you can bring out a lot of the stars detail. This was just a quick edit in Snapseed... I find I have to put the darker bit of the sky into a separate layer to get any decent contrast. The orange is a pain. Don't know if it's my screen Robert - am on iPad - but the green looks super saturated. Attachment: image.jpg (Downloaded 18 times)

Yes as I expected it is going NW which is towards land and lights. Ideally you want to go out to sea but obviously there may be other stuff in the way or closer lights. Might be best to go and do you lone watch on the harbour wall!! Teeheehee take a dram with you. Set the intervalometer to 15sec exposures every 1shot every minute for 2 hours and have camera on a tripod. One shutter button press then back to the warmth of the car so you can see the camera isnt stolen!.

Don't know if it's my screen Robert - am on iPad - but the green looks super saturated. I have fiddled with it till i'm getting tired, The green may be a bit over the top... but it will have to do for now, probably too much green saturation and luminance. I may have another go with a fresh set of files. I have fiddled with the original files too much now. I still have them on the CF card so I will put a fresh set on my HD later. There can be a lot of variation between screens, I haven't looked at it on the iPad, that should be accurate. Will take a peek... About to create a time-lapse video in Ps with 90 frames.

I will have a look at your image tomorrow Robert. I have my main machine doing a full backup so best to leave it alone.

Shifting files about I lost the edits I had made in Lr, no great loss, saved me re-loading the files, I have re-done them all, I hope this looks better... I hate re-editing the same files time and again, better to start over with fresh edits IMO. I masked the top of the sky and the lower fell areas, gave them their own individual adjustments. Held back on the green saturation and luminosity. I find this difficult, it's a bit like IR images, you don't know what it *should* look like because you can't actually see it with the naked eye as the camera sees it with a ten second exposure. I think it's a personal interpretation thing and because I am so excited at having achieved one of my holy grail images, my judgment is somewhat biased because I am so over enthusiastic atm.

I have made a very short video of the Aurora images but with only 90 frames I have cut the frame rate to 12.5 fps. Even then it's <6 seconds long. I plan to upload it to Vimeo when I get home.
