Northern Lights Photo Taker

Northern Lights Photo Taker provides aurora-oriented camera presets and a custom exposure mode.

Our take

Choose it for simplifying camera setup during an actual aurora sighting

Three brightness presets give a starting point when manual ISO and shutter controls feel cumbersome.

Keep in mind: It does not find an aurora or guarantee a sharp result; scene brightness, stability and camera hardware still matter.

What you can do

  • Three aurora brightness presets
  • Exposure and color-setting adjustments
  • Custom capture mode

Good for

  • Observers who already have a view of the northern lights

Limitations & considerations

  • It does not find an aurora or guarantee a sharp result; scene brightness, stability and camera hardware still matter.

Privacy & permissions

Photo capture uses the camera and creates potentially location-revealing images; review permissions and metadata sharing.
