Hi guys,

Just come back from a trip to Tromso to see the Northern lights,
I was lucky enough to see them why then they were quite active, and I got lots of nice pics too!
Only problem is there is quite a bit of noise when I zoom in.

I used a Nikon D80 with a Sigma 20mm f1.8 lens.

Question is, I've had this camera for a while now and Im wondering wether its worth investing in a new camera as I've read there are cameras that deal with higher ISO noise and produce much better quality image.s

I am by no means a photography expert, just an enthusiast :) So any advice appreciated :)

yes they were :) I had seen them 3-4 times earlier in the week and was a little disheartened as they looked not much brighter than a pale green cloud. But on my last night in Tromso I got a fantastic display :) It was so active they were all over the sky, the coronas were impressive :) But the best part of the display really was when all of a sudden the sky just came alive and they all started 'dancing' it was then that the violets started to come out. Must have been a peak in activity as there was fast movement everywhere.

The only negative thing I can say is that they are not as green as in the photos, but certainly as bright and the most impressive thing I've ever seen :)

Will never forget it :)
