Re: I only shot aurora with GH2 in NL, but....
Hi Jorginho,
Yeah this was a decent Aurora - I even saw my first proton arc with a beam going from the east to west horizons directly overhead - something that doesn't happen here very often. We've actually had a bad run over the last 12 months with weather and daylight interfering with our Aurora chasing - a number of big events have been blocked by daylight or clouds.
Thanks for the feedback re cameras. I'm not interested in full frame due to size / weight of the systems, and the camera needs to a good all rounder for travel and the other half to use. I'm looking for a decent improvement in shadow noise / DR - I find the G6 really struggles with noise in shadows and clouds at night unless the conditions are spot on.
This is my favourite from my last year or two chasing Aurora's.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
