Dress in layers
Temperatures can plunge quickly; wear thermal base layers, an insulated jacket, and windproof outer layers to stay comfortable during long stares at the sky.
Bring a tripod and spare batteries
Cold drains camera batteries fast and long exposures require a stable tripod for sharp aurora photos.
Protect your feet
Insulated, waterproof boots and warm socks are vital — standing still in freezing conditions can lead to numbness and early exit from the hunt.
Charge your phone and bring a power bank
