Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)

Location: Miðdalskot, Bláskógabyggð – Island.

The great expeditions with PTMA (September 2019)

These are the last photos of the northern lights, which I was able to photograph during the trip to Iceland from September 2019.

During last nights I’ve took these photos I slept very little. The quantity as well as the scope of the performance that was taking place above my head, beat all the previous ones I’ve seen so far.

I decided to post only those more interesting shots. There are 23 photos that I selected among 37 GB of data (913 files) from material I’ve collected two nights in a row.

The equipment with I took wonderful photos:

ISO 1600
Lights: 10 [s] – 15 [s]
Precessing: RawTherapee oraz Gimp

SynScan GOTO v4 controller – trouble with buttons

At some point while using the controller, I noticed that the ESC button wasn’t always working. I lived with it, but after a while, the left Ra button also started acting up and wouldn’t always connect. A red flag went up in my head – something needed to be done. It’s worth noting that the problems appeared right after the warranty period ended… coincidence?
