If anyone is looking to get some shots of the Northern Lights but doesn't want to venture up to northern Canada, it looks like tomorrow night might be a good chance. Grab the reciprocity tables!

Unfortunately it's likely going to be cloudy up here in Yukon. Temps are unseasonably warm so it would be a great couple of nights to get out.

I've had good results with Provia 400X in 120 format. These are approx 40s exposures at F3.5 and not a particularly bright display. Ideally you'd like to be shooting 15-20 second exposures at a faster aperture if you have one. Or try to push a stop.
