Rocket launch. The rocket launch, which was widely seen, was also recorded in the eastern weather camera of Ursa in Tampere. Selected images from the recording here. The last couple of dry ones have been croped and I also added a timestamp to them. The video can be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6PCnT7c1G8&ab_channel=TampereenUrsa

Northern lights that lasted all night appeared in the sky as the evening darkened into night. The night sky is no longer completely dark at this time of year, so the contrast between the repos and the background sky wasn’t quite what one might have expected: the northern lights looked a little modest. The northern lights activity was visible until dusk and probably continued until the early hours of the morning. Here are a few pictures of the best moments, the last couple of pictures are already at dusk.

Very dim and calm northern lights at night in Tampere. The brightest moments took place between 1 and 2 p.m., for about 45 minutes. In those moments, the northern lights were so bright that they could be separated from the sky with the naked eye. The camera recorded the repos from 1 o'clock until dawn, ie until about 4.15 am. Here are a few pictures of the brightest moments. The last image is from the dim phase of the northern lights, when only the camera could detect them.

The northern lights blazed all night, although the brightest moments were experienced and seen in the evening and evening. Here is a picture from the video camera of the Ursa Observatory in Tampere. In the brightest moments of the evening, the northern lights extended from east to west and probably Korona was also visible. Our Allsky camera is out of the game, so it’s certainly not possible to argue that the corona is visible. In the morning and at night, an arc of northern lights of varying brightness was seen. It only disappeared from view at dusk.

A calm northern lights belt and some rays were recorded in the northern camera of Tampere's Ursa. I was expecting a little brighter fire but for some reason the magnetic restlessness did not develop to the degree of a storm.

The long-seen car was recorded in the northern and eastern cameras of Tampere's Ursa. Here is a preliminary image from the video. Unfortunately, every second picture is missing due to technical issues. I will update the pictures as soon as I can build more of them. 22.11.2021 update. Here are a couple more photos that were manually excavated from the video containing the errors one frame at a time. Unfortunately, not everything was saved, but some were. The added images are from the north and east cameras.

The clear evening made it possible to record the dim northern lights in a video camera located at the Ursa observatory in Tampere. The northern lights had several different shapes from the gauze to the active belt. As a small specialty, the lower edge of the arc of northern lights was also unusually bright and wide for a while. The brightest stages took place around 11 p.m. and midnight. Eventually, the clouds increased, obscuring the view of the sky.

Clear weather allowed distant northern lights to appear. The dim northern lights began to appear on the north-facing video camera at about 11 p.m., but the northern lights actually brightened about half an hour later. The brightest moments were between about 23.40 and 23.45. Here are a few pictures and videos on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXcvM8SmGPk

The northern lights of the night of 18/19.10.2021 were active and bright at the time of the strongest sub storm, which began at about 00.50 and lasted for about half an hour. Before that, when the evening was dark enough (about 9.45 pm), a dim and calm belt of northern lights appeared in the sky, where dim rays occasionally appeared. Going towards midnight, the activity increased, the belt turned into an arc of northern lights where randomly moving brightenings and the formation of rays were occasionally seen. Then, shortly before 1 o'clock (Finnish summer time), bright and very active nor...

Northern lights from cloud crevices and partly through clouds. The G1-class magnetic storm brought with it northern lights, which were also visible in Tampere. However, the cloud cover was relatively strong, so this time we only had to settle for repos visible through cracks and through the clouds. I also uploaded the video to YuoTube's Ursa channel in Tampere, the address is AB2021102

We see the northern lights in the sky lit by the full moon. As the cloud cover receded, the north camera on the observatory recorded a dim arc of northern lights and occasionally associated rays. The bright moonlight brightened the background sky so the contrast remained low. Times are UTC times.

As the cloudiness receded a bit, I managed to find a relatively clear opening in the upper clouds from which I photographed the Sun and its abundant spots. However, the aperture was not entirely clear as a thin upper cloud did appear, however, and it emerged in the post-processing of the image, as everyone will surely notice it in this image. Today’s sunspot count, 124, is relatively high at this time of the sunspot period. Indeed, it appears that the activated has evolved remarkably rapidly in a higher direction when compared to predictions. On September 11, 2021, I added a 2 × magnified and ...

A total of 18 aurigids were recorded on Ursa's new weather camera in Tampere on its first night. In addition to these, two sporades were recorded and one aurigid was recorded in the east camera, but it is probably the same as that recorded in the north camera. We’ve switched to using UTC time in camera timestamps because it looks like we won’t be able to get rid of daylight saving time for anything in the very next few years.
