Fuji S3000, 3MP, 3x zoom, taken from my upstairs back porch Oct 27, 2004. Little table-top tripod. Night setting.
It was a great little camera- sometimes I think it actually took better pictures than my S5100. About three weeks later it met a horrible end- dropped on a sidewalk with the lens extended. And that was that. Cheaper to buy a new one. Don't ever try to change the batteries while you are walking is the moral of that story.
I don't think that I would have been able to pick up the northern lights because that light is so diffuse- some people did manage to get some good shots, but most are pretty fuzzy. I'll try if and when it happens again-
