Nice... this is definitely one of the better tutorials I've seen for making auroras in Photoshop. And they almost look real too. Try dimming them a bit and making them a bit smoother and you're there.

Amazing-Bob [2005-02-17 20:58:04 +0000 UTC]

For your final "Skys" thing, wouldn't the stars be in the black areas of the skies, NOT the lightened ones?
Just a thought.
Nice tut though.
Great effect.

This is a neat tutorial. Kinda makes me wonder if this could be applied to nebula creation as well.
