Thanks Mark.

Geographic latitude - Norway is 60 so the aurora appear more overhead than here at 43, so we are more or less looking at the aurora 'side on'...in a nutshell.
The camera/lens combo I'm using at the moment is Nikon D5600 with a Tamron 15 to 30 f/2.8 mostly at 15mm and f/2.8.
Try and keep ISO down, mostly around 1000 to 1600 but for faint aurora you'll need 3200 and exposures range from 10 to 30 seconds, again depending on how bright she is.
Lens you want as wide as possible, so if you've only got a kit lens, say 18 -55mm then shoot at 18mm and always have your aperture wide open, so lowest f/ available. You are collecting light so wide open long exposure works best.
Hard and fast rules only YMMV :-)
