New Year's Aurora

While out to shoot Orion, I saw a very faint glow to the north, and realized there was a dim auroral display going on, so I took another 30s expsoure with the D100 at ISO 800. The 1/2 moon interfered a bit, but a nice show popped up on the screen, and really evokes the feeling of the northwoods.

BTW, I have been shooting in RAW mode now and then editing with Photoshop CS, which can do RAW imports, and the results are much better than letting the camera doing the jpegs on it's own.
