You don’t need special equipment to see the Northern Lights – astronomers can just step outside and look north Getting away from urban light pollution can help And AccuWeather meteorologist David Samuhel has stated that sometimes cameras could see what the naked eye couldn’t, so taking a long exposure photo for 15-30 seconds with a DSLR camera is advised
