Looking forward to the next season when I'll be replacing the 150 degree lens with a 63 degree - hopefully fewer light sources to affect the camera software - hopefully.

Re: Aurora this morning....
WOW!!! this is absolutely fabulous and just goes to show the need for an animation 
It is such a pity that Stuart's magnetometer is offline at the moment as he loves to match it to images and you have all the timestamps etc available.
Superb!

Re: Aurora this morning....
Very interesting.
Geoff, are you in a dark sky zone as I don't see much light pollution. How many frames did you take and was it 20 secs exposures ? And over what time period, looks like a few hours there. Are you worried the sun will damage the sensor?
Thanks
Magnus
