Nice lights. Fog and clouds hindered visibility a bit. I mostly watched and let the camera click. It was difficult to capture the dim, pulsating lights of the after-show, but now I think I somehow managed to do it.

CME again offered quite a spectacle. The cloudiness posed freezing challenges and it was up to the smallest detail so that the whole spectacle would not have been seen. The northern lights were currently spreading across almost the entire sky, offering in addition to green, red and pink hues visible to the eyes. One special feature was the so-called auroral streamer, which on the north side of the oval provided an arc-like stringy area like a substorm. Blue was also visible with the naked eye for a while in this area. In the bottom picture, these blue-toned threads. After the substorm, the sky...

Winter is coming in Northeast Greenland, fog rose from the sea over the research station. Walking to the weather station, you could admire the arc of fog for at least an hour in different intensities.

I photographed the northern lights in Rusko and Turku. At the same time, my old camera filmed a series by itself on the balcony at home. I put together such a quick (approx. 6 seconds) gif animation from those pictures from 23:00 to 23:30 at the end.

At Maunula's farming plots, a nice bright side sun was shining for five minutes. Visually, the twin was not visible at all.
