I take it you don’t have a camera where you can leave the shutter open?
That’s how my mum gets her pics (she’s really good I keep telling her she should sell but she’s my mom and is scared no one will want. After she sells 50+ calenders in a 5000 person town. 🙄 )
That usually gets AMAZING pics of things like the northern lights, fireworks, and lightning. Since you just point and let the magic happen.
