These seem to be enough for now. So far, perhaps the most beautiful northern lights from this autumn. It seems to have exploded properly twice.

I am now uploading my own composite video from Karhukamera (cam14 - southwest camera). My attention was mainly drawn to the fact that the northern lights are like bisected in the direction of the south and north poles. The fires in the southern half are moving significantly more actively (on the left side in the video), there is a clear gap between them at first, while from the north a uniformly thick band rolls towards the south. In the end, the avalanche from the north seems to win, and the end result was a fairly comprehensive light show. Not such a spectacular aurora sighting, but I think ...

The aurora borealis blazed across the sky and my attention was caught by the particularly colorful Korona near Kassiopeia in the middle sky. It was necessary to act quickly, because soon a cloud of fog would cover the sky. The camera settings weren't quite right for the northern lights, but I managed to capture something. The play was colorful.

In the morning we could see the wonderful, beautifully flaming side suns, which don't look anywhere close to what they do with the naked eye in the picture.

In the afternoon, it became a jam while browsing, already sighing with relief, when all the meters showed a steady green. Either way, while driving home in the evening, I had to look out the side window and there it was, the sky was glowing green. Suddenly to the first beach, from where the view opens to the north. The fires had already faded and the place was miserable anyway. Change of position to a standard position in Ohtakari, Lohtaja. There, the arch was quite high, but you could tell from its thickness that we were about to go. And wow, what a show that ensued. Fire from the sky all the...

I happened to look at the interference curves at night and immediately set the camera to continuous shooting for 3 hours. The northern lights were perhaps not very strong, but the gauzy, sometimes the rays, remained there the whole time and also moved. The best stages were between two and five o'clock. The attached timelapse is a compilation of approx. 180 frames, i.e. the aurora borealis was recorded in every single image. The purple color is also visible in the pictures taken shortly before 5 o'clock.

Afternoon halos in a stack of 93 pictures. The last image is a single square from the bottom of the stack. The black upper corners are the photographer's mistake, because the Samyang's lens hood was twisted open. Fortunately, it didn't fall completely to the ground. The horizon ring and upper concave Parry were visible, but not anymore when I had time to photograph. EDIT: I'll add Parry. Became more visible when I made a new BR.

The evening's readings didn't promise much, but I still took Osmo to the roof on duty. Unfortunately, only the triple version, where you can't get a fisheye. The fish watching the night before didn't warm up much. In the future, I will take both Osmos to the roof next to each other. Now there was a lot of deliciousness left to immortalize. It would have been great to watch that live, but a hard-working Dunaar doesn't bend to such a work week. Even the repo alarms didn't come until the morning all at once, so it was quite a surprise when I got the camera from the roof an...

I noticed in the yard after midnight that a green streak is visible on the horizon. I filled in over Viikki's fields to a slightly better place to shoot, and slowly the aurora borealis rose above half the sky. The most visible episode was at two o'clock.

At first, dim gauzes on the north side. I could see a bit of red and green with my bare eyes. Then the aurora borealis started to slowly spread over. Later, before 02:00, the so-called blast from the east across the firmament to the west. Strong colors of white, green, red and purple to the naked eye, especially in the corona. There is still color in the southeast with the naked eye. A short fireball seen at the end. In the north, all the time, a steady green haze, nothing else.

The brightness of Jupiter on the screen varied with the thin cloud rafts. Stacked from the slots: IR-Pass-filter, NO Filter, UV-IR-Cut filter (in this order). The last picture is without Barlow and filter. Still need to learn how to combine IR-Pass and RGB images.

The aurora borealis started as a weak evening glow in the northern sky, but at midnight the aurora borealis brightened so much that they were overexposed in the images of the Hankasalmi observatory's allsky camera.

Clear, quite decent seeing, quite a bit of humidity. There are more details in the photo than what I saw visually. Tlianne is the same as my previous observation, that is SEB and NEB visually seen as equally dark, the speck was only visible as some kind of expansion in SEB without attracting attention with its size or darkness. It's quite light, but in the photo it seems to be happening in SEB around it. Picture 2 also includes the moons when looking closely, the moons are marked. To the left of the moon Jupiter is Ganymede, to the right Io, Europa and Callisto. In photographic observation...
