We visited the Light Path light art works made by the City of Turku. I grabbed a picture of Vartiovuorenmäki's Blue Atmosphere work in the market square and noticed the artificial light pillars in the background. On the way home a little later I went around through a small hook and grabbed a couple of pictures from Majakkaranta in the direction of Hirvensalo and the harbor.

Artificial light pillars were visible in many places in the Lahti Urban Area, and I drove around looking for denser ice mist. On the outskirts of Joutjärvi church, the fog was already quite dense and the side lamps with their 3D effects were visible on all the slightly brighter lanterns. I found the best view in the yard of a warehouse building in a nearby industrial area, and there I was quietly focused on filming. The top suns here were the brightest I have ever seen. I took a series of pictures from a few different places so I was also able to vary the height of the light source somewhat. F...

385 Ilmatar Asteroid 385 Ilmatar is moving in the constellation of Pisces at this time. The location is a little down from theta Piscium. I noticed it in a few clear evenings in November, when, of course, the moonlight caused harm. As a Finn, I also wanted some pictures of it. The target is named after a Finnish asteroid with a diameter of about 100 km and was discovered in 1894. The camera was my Sky-Watcher tube with a diameter of 254 mm and a focal length of 1200 mm (f / 4.7) in Focus. From the picture, it is easier to identify the Air Force with the help of the Astrometry map application. ...

Luckily I didn’t believe the weather reports and I put a tube to cool out the night before going to bed. The clock was waking up at four in the morning, a glance out the window and a positive surprise as the stars appeared in the sky. Quick dress and 12 degree frost to align the tube. With Bakhtinov's mask, the Arcturus star is focused and the comet Leonard is bursting from the thrill. Wow that's it now with a wonderfully open ball set M3. I take 1-2 minutes of exposure for about half an hour until I take out the Optolong L-Pro filter and continue for another half hour I was still comp...

The almost clear and calm frosty day drove the halo chaser to the outskirts of Hasamäki again in the hope of ice fog. Frost readings varied between 15 and 22 degrees depending on location. At Hasamäki, the scenery was completely obscured, but it seemed that the formation of crystals was weak. The fog was only close to the ground in a layer about 30-35 meters thick, and when the Sun was partly behind the clouds, the halosoot was modest. The icy mist was released by the drone, however, the moderate sub-side suns and the lower sun. There were also basic hugs in the upper clouds. The main picture ...

For once, it happened in the middle of the field of view of a fireball camera. Admittedly, a thin cloud curtain slightly in front. The video lasts 4.76 seconds. The UFO software gave a brightness of -5.2 magnitude but the brightness was probably closer to full moon. I haven’t really learned to rely on UFOAnalyzer magnitude estimates. This apparently belonged to the northern taurids that came surprisingly down into the atmosphere.
