Friday night, in addition to the clear starry sky, offered northern lights that began dimly around half past ten but had intensified considerably after one. The same evening also saw a lonely ray, to which many have already referred. Around 11 p.m., its shape became wider. Annoyingly poor quality pictures of it.

Along the spring and summer, I have watched the sky in the hope that I would see a halo. When one came out today for a few seconds I wasn’t prepared at all and the camera settings weren’t right. The halo was visible to the south and was so big that it couldn’t fit the whole picture. However, I took a few pictures whose quality can be desired ...

On Saturday night, halo phenomena continued at Airisto. A weak halo around the low sun with a fairly colorful spot on the right side. At the same time, there was a longer but also colorful convex arch in the high sky. This part only appears in the second image, where the camera was pointed fairly straight up.

After a rainy day, it became beautiful from other views in the archipelago. It was fascinating to watch the moon rise from behind a nearby island shortly before 11 p.m. but in the darkening phase the moon and its reddish-yellow color were clearly visible. I attach eight pictures of the different steps. The main picture was taken at 23.27 and the last picture at 00.26.
