How to capture the northern lights on your phone

Set shutter speed between 5 to 15 seconds. This allows enough time to capture the moving lights but not too long to appear blurry. Manually focus by tapping on an area with a lot of light. Using your phone's flash will overpower the natural light of the aurora. This helps to keep your phone still.
