Half-sky auroras

18.9.2023 at 22.00 - 23.55 - Kolari, Ylläsjärvi (IV)
Kari Rytilahti

Another aurora night in the scenery of Ylläsjärvi where the aurora borealis was initially visible on the south side until closer to midnight they retreated towards the northern sky and a wonderful spectacle was obtained over Ylläsjärvi. The cloud cover made it difficult to find the observation sites..after these pictures, the sky was quickly covered with clouds.

Half-sky auroras

17.9.2023 at 22.50 - 23.50 - Kolari / Ylläsjärvi (IV)
Kari Rytilahti

The aurora borealis is ringing, so out with the cameras. At the beginning, a very dim arc was visible, but after 20 minutes of waiting, it started to get brighter and the high rays formed on the right side of the arc, from where they spread over the entire width of the arc. Rays also formed below the arch. The northern lights reached above the zenith..the dim Corona was also visible. The camera distinguished the colors of the northern lights very well. Great experience again in the night of Ylläsjärvi.

Half-sky auroras

11.9.2022 at 22.35 - 23.40 - Kolari, Ylläs, Maisematie (IV)
Kari Rytilahti

Amazing aurora borealis that reached more than half the sky. At the beginning of the observation, a very faint arc was visible above, which after half an hour of waiting started to brighten and went over the zenith. A moment and the arch began to take shape. The northern lights were visible over half the sky..the best activation at both ends of the arc. The fires faded as the arc dipped down to the north, and the sky was left with gauze over a wide area.

Kari Rytilahti

Another amazing aurora night. A spectacle that covered the whole sky, which could be photographed below. Even though Sigma's 14 mm 118 degree angle of view is not enough for these repos either.. the last picture of the corona which gives you an idea of the scope of the repos. Yes, now the vacation has been favored by repose.. 6 nights, four nights of which are great reposes.. the vacation continues and hopefully reposes.

Kari Rytilahti

A great start to the year for northern lights. The morning of my last holiday and luckily I was awake and looked at the starlapland camera picture. The arch began to brighten so the exterior lights of the cottage went out and the view from the window..the arch was clear above the fell. Then came the rush..clothes around my neck and cameras and tripods and walking to Kuoksojantie. Of course, a good place to shoot was demanding a rumble in the snow, and it had been thrilled in the mood. The best way to get the cameras into positions was to start activating in an arc. Even the high beam and the d...
