Would you believe I didn't take a tripod! I have one photo using a 14mm lens resting on the lens cap on my picnic table. My face got stuck to the table while I was trying to focus and frame it (-2C!!) so I offset from infinity from memory. Even though I was completely sober at ~4:00am I didn't quite get it right, so the stars are a bit blobby. But I do have a wide shot of the aurora. I'm also quite pleased with myself for even registering it naked eye without having any knowledge of the forecast- it really wasn't that bright from here.
