That's always going to be true of the night sky though -- and is the goal of astrophotography.
That's not to say that there aren't some amazing aurorae that you can experience with the naked eye, if you go closer to the poles (well, practically just the Northern one) on a good night you won't need a camera!
Even for those, presumably a camera will catch more stuff in the background though.
