Distant night thunder occurred around Pori on the night of 18/19/8/2022. During the night there was mainly a cloud fire, some live lightning was visible.

On the night of 17/18/2022, the aurora borealis started to appear in the evening already at the time of pleasant twilight when the Sun was -10 degrees below the horizon. So the sky was still bright, so the observations had to be made under dark sky conditions. And there was a rush to make the observation, because the clouds threatened to cover the sky completely and the observation had to be made from a gap in the clouds. The aurora borealis and rays stood out from the twilight sky, which were visually barely visible and quite hazy even in the pictures.

The flight of the Starlink satellites on August 14, 2022 was also recorded in the images of Karhukamera. Since the exposure was 23 seconds, the satellites do not stand out as a string of pearls, but have merged into one light streak. The satellites flew from south to north, passing across the constellation Joutsene and from there towards Otava.

NGC 3893 is a spiral galaxy discovered by William Herschel in 1788 in the constellation of the Big Bear. The galaxy is a so-called "grand design spiral galaxy" with clearly developed and showy spiral arms. Unfortunately, the spiral branches did not stand out with my observation device. Visually, the galaxy appeared as a roundish, hazy spot that is fairly uniform in its brightness distribution. There is a weak central brightness in the middle of the galaxy. The galaxy is slightly elongated, with a long axis that appears to be approximately north-south. Herschel's classification of the objec...
