Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

A recording related to the rocket launch from a camera pointing in the northwest direction from the center of Jyväskylä. Based on other observations, I name the Falcon 9 rocket. According to the clock on the camera (mobile phone), it was visible in the video from behind the trees after appearing at 01:53:36–01:54:24 on the way from south to north. Added another camera recording of the same. This observation starts a little earlier, but the camera is of lower quality (720p). #raketti: Falcon 9

Perseids

13.8.2022 at 01.07 - Jyväskylä (II)
Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

A fast meteor observed in the southeast direction. Just before the meteor, in the center of the image, you can see a point-like flash. These are constantly stored in different appearances and sizes, and usually you are left wondering what it is about. Satellite Blink? A meteor coming towards the observer?

Up to three different angles were found for this representative of the Perseids seen in the southeast direction. In the beginning of the third video clip, there is also a point-like flash from a so far unidentified source. A partial enlargement of the video shows the source of the flash to be quite round in shape.

The very beginning of this last night's flight of the roach in the southeast probably remained behind the upper floors of the building, but still the most impressive single Perseid on my cameras this year.

With the help of Nyrölä's observations, I again found in my recordings e.g. of this meteor, which was the most impressive and long-lasting recorded on our cameras. The camera lens is to the southeast and the subject is traveling high in the sky, in the upper third of the horizon.

A fireball at night, brighter than the venus

22.9.2022 at 05.01 - Jyväskylä (III)
Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

With the help of Vesanto's observation, I found this partially visible fireball between the trees. The beginning and the end were behind the yard trees illuminated by the outdoor lights looking very wintry. The black and white night vision mode used by the camera in low light emphasizes the effect.
