When I was able to catch the Northern Lights or Aurora up at Split Rock Lighthouse along the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota, I set up 3 cameras to capture it at different angles orientations. This was the first one I set up, my Nikon D850 with the Sigma 14mm f1.8.
As I mentioned in the thread with the single image I processed, this was shot at close to my typical night sky settings. Having never shot an Aurora before, even though I had read others accounts, I wasn't certain what settings to use. And then common sense kicked in as I was running to the lake shore to set up the camera. I figured it was night out (11pm) so I should just start out with the settings I would normally use to shoot the night sky. So I set it up for 25 secs, f2.0 and ISO 1600. It was a bit dark in my first test shot, so I raised the ISO then to ISO 2000 and shot at that setting for the rest of the night.
This timelapse has about 370 images in it. It was mass converted in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) to jpgs. Then the jpgs where stacked in Photoshop with a 0.1 sec delay for each image. Those stacks were turned into the timelapse video's and then the 3 different video's (when I had slightly adjusted the composition with the camera) were assembled in Movavi with the titles and music.
