As long as he washed them after visiting the toilet

I've got a few more, but I admit I spent more time watching than photographing.

One thing to be aware of is that the aurora are not as green in reality as they appear in photos. I have no idea why it is, but that's the case. The first night we saw them they looked like pale cloud, it was only in the photos that they were green.

Tips for photographing them: a good tripod, a remote or 2sec timer, bulb or long exposure (about 20sec), high iso, wide angle, wide open, set to infinity. Foreground interest is good if you can manage it. I didn't on the first night we saw them as we were crossing open sea.

I wasn't brave enough to up on the sun deck, from where I would have got better photos, due to it being very icy. Others were braver.

Not brilliant, but not bad considering how much the ship was moving and it's out of focus too - the focus kept drifting off infinity on the 17-70 .

I plan a land based aurora hunt sometime.

Thanks for the links.
It's not available here, hence my ignorance.

I have no idea what Olbas oil is .

Better off staying up late to see them than getting up early .
Aberdeen may get to see them but according to Gedds they won't come much further south.

Looks like I went the wrong week for my Norway trip, though I did see them twice.

I don't if this helps, but according to Matt Koslowski this is how you integrate Lightroom and PSE.

I don't think you need a log-in to read it. If you do let me know.

You don't know the meaning of cold .

Just uploaded 2000 odd photos. Can't raise the energy to start on them yet though.

I too have lost it. I just use the hood as is, no problems at all. Obviously the hole is pointing down. Even when using the camera in portrait mode it doesn't seem to cause a problem.
