Aurora Camera

[Phaeton]

Thanks dumpy, I ordered a camera from them this morning but I really blew my budget

kamaldeep,

The Canon Digital Rebel XTI (North America) or Canon EOS 400D (Europe/Asia)
is an SLR camera that was released in August 2006. It will take 30 second exposures without a Remote control (cable-release) or it will take longer exposures in bulb mode.

It looks like any one of the cameras listed on this link below would be good for photographing the Aurora. http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/...300Dastro.html

I think the pictures on this link by J. Dana Hrubes from the South Pole where he said it was -84F when he took the pictures with his Canon 400D is what got me thinking about this one. The working temperature for this camera is 32F and oddly enough so is mine, it's got to be a really GOOD storm to get me away from the wood stove when it below freezing.
