A few of us were doing some outreach tonight up at Ballintoy on the north coast, and got a great view. It really made the night.

I was out at 01.30 and i think it was too late as i couldn't see anything, under/at what constellations was it located ?
I got some widefield shots but there's nothing there.

Have asked this before probably, so apologies in advance, how different is the naked eye view of a display v what the camera picks up?

Less than 2 weeks to the equinox, activity seems to pick up around that time - not sure why.

What in people's view are good camera settings for photgraphing the aurora, i.e. ISO level, f ratio, exposure length etc?
