Here are some photos from the northern lights occurrence last night from Levanger in Norway. This was a G3 storm with Kp index 7.67, in other words a very powerful northern lights storm. When the auroras are as powerful as they were last night, the auroras are high in the skies and all around you, not only towards the north. The camera was facing south-east and south when taking the images below. With powerful aurora displays like these one can use "shorter" shutter speeds, in example between 4-10 seconds, with the aim of capturing interesting shapes in the aurora. The first two images below were taken in the early stages of the northern lights event, and are 30 seconds exposures. Images 3,4,5,6 and 7 were shot with shutter speeds 10", 15", 8", 8" and 8" respectively.

Rawtherappe can handle pixel shift files in DNG form, Its open source so it is free to download.
A steep learning curve but excellent for raw file processing.
I haven't personally shot a pixel shift photo yet

I did some research (Googling) about this matter last evening. It seems like the Pentax Digital Camera Utility 5 is the default software for processing Pixel Shift RAW files, I believe I will start with this software.bjolester wrote:

It is also my dream camera, but I use it much too seldom. Between work and familylife, there is limited time for film photography (sending film to the lab in Oslo, scanning etc.) My favourite films, Fuji Velvia 50 and Fuji Provia 100F, are almost extinct. Kodak Ektar, Provia and Ektachrome are absurdly expensive, developing prices are very high here in Norway. All in all it is much easier to pursue digital photography. I have been contemplating selling my 67 system many times in recent years, but I love the camera and lenses too much. I probably will never be able to sell the 67iiI think a 67 II would be my dream film camera and, although I've never used one, I don't think I'd give it up if I had one.
