haha my perception was way off lol.

I should really click through to these pages though.

Is this yours? It's beautiful.

You're really lucky to have seen the aurora like that, I've been trying to catch it recently with the latest solar flares, but every time it's occurring the weather has been too bad or it hasn't come far enough south.

Nope, not mine. Although I am a photographer, I don't do much time lapse or astrophotography, although that's something I plan on changing in the near future as it's always interested me.

I don't have a car so I won't be doing any soon.

What equipment do you have for specialised astrophotography?

You don't need anything special for this. Just a half decent camera body and a reasonably wide lens depending on your sensor size. Beyond that, a good, sturdy tripod (in this case, however, the photographer used a camera slider/dolly), and a remote with an intervalometer function so you can take images repeatedly without having to press any buttons.
