Nice pictures, but a few words of advice:

I used to live in Mo i Rana, which is near the Arctic circle in Norway. There I took aurora pictures on film, using Fuji 400 negative film. It was never as green as in your pictures, as it was winter there was snow on the ground so any tint is instantly noticeable. Next time you take aurora pictures set the white balance manually at daylight (5600K) and RAW + JPEG, with the film simulation at Provia (normal). Take at least some pictures at these settings. Don't be afraid to use a high ISO. sometimes the aurora is not simply a green curtain or veil. I have seen (but not photographed) orange and red aurora, a correct white balance would be crucial then.

Thanks for your suggestions! Will play with different settings in LR.

You feel like providing a RAW file?? maybe one that you don't feel too precious about?? Would be a great opportunity for those who "saw" the image differently.
