That's beautiful ronjames! Nice composition too.
Northern lights are relatively common here, but we have been unlucky with the clouds so far this winter.

Very nice Ron! How difficult was it to set the focus? I noticed in at least one of your other RX1 northern lights shots in your Flickr stream that the focus was quite off.. Am I right that the RX1 doesn't have an infinity hard stop?

Thanks everyone for the complements on the aurora shots! Yes. It's true the rx-1 doesn't have a hard stop for Infinity. If I were to do it again I would focus during the daylight in manual and tape the lens. But it wasn't that difficult at night. There is a digital focus scale that pops up. I was just too cold to be neurotic about my picture taking, and half the time when the lights were so good I was trying to soak it up.

That wouldn't help since the focusing ring has no mechanical connection with the barrel. The scale is also completely off and "infinity" is waaaay beyond real infinity. This is why I never use MF if I don't really have to. It just sucks compared to a real MF lens.
