    Went aurora chasing last night and was rewarded with a pretty good show around 1am! Had to brave -35F, the Pentax KP handled it great (and so did my Tacoma, after sitting out at 4 hours at -30 and colder it started right up!).

    Pentax KP, Sigma 10-20 f3.5 HSM, somewhere off the Elliott Highway, Alaska.

    Nice. I thought about it but decided being warm at home sounded more fun.

    Still stock, I’ve only had the truck since April; it was a leftover ‘17.
