I'd welcome any pointers anyone has about improving my results. They were active last night but not super intense (kp 2) while I was out.

Apr 12, 2014 14:53 | #6 Some more images last night. The moon was bright and we're headed into 24-hour day months now, which made things tricky.       I think the actual auroras were about the best I can do with the equipment I've got with the display and light conditions that were on last night, but I'd really appreciate any suggestions or feedback about the compositions and whatnot...

You probably just need it to be a bit darker, which I'm guessing from the pipeline, might be a while. "Treat every photon with respect" - David Malin.

Where are you located ? Steve. Middle of nowhere, Fairbanks area      I feel like with photos like the last one, I could have cranked up the exposure, and pushed it in post-processing to bring out the auroras, which would get a more dramatic photo, but I'm inclined to let them stay more like what I actually saw.
