I also stared at the sky like many others last night between 1.40-2.10, the sight was handsome. I have never seen night clouds illuminating such a wide area before. A few stars also appeared.

Greetings also from Jämsä here. I admired the northern lights all evening until eleven. I also described in between. Here are a few shots. Practice to keep still.

I already used the sky after 17, but only after 19 did the northern lights appear in the north. Later also a fine arch. Then in ten countries the sky was marked by bright green rays. At 11pm the show faded and I went to sleep. First picture 19:50, fourth 22:48. The camera clock was still in summer time.

Half past eight countries in the evening already saw dim northern lights in the north. I would visit between the sauna and half past ten countries with a clear starry sky showing a beautiful green arch from west to east. Gradually rays began to appear and then half of the sky green northern lights. There were also pulsating spots. Korona also tried at about 10 pm. There were even red nuances in the fire. It was beautiful to watch.

The predictions were true. It was great to watch the sky, and shoot as well. The fogging of the lens ruined some of the images. A couple of star flights were also visible. Didn't hit the pictures. Figure 1 at 20:37 Picture 2 at 11:02 p.m.

On a dog peeing trip, I noticed greenery in the northern sky despite the street lights. Add clothes on and shoot. At best, the northern lights were visible from west to northeast. Rays, but little else. The clouds hampered the view.

Even before seven in the evening, green northern lights are visible, but the best moment is around 9:30 p.m. Corona a couple of times. At its best, you come from the west to the northeast and to the zenith. Beautiful! Attached are pictures from 9pm to 9pm.

Rare halos

A beautiful halo play that lasted a meager 10 min. Deaf clouds rolled over. Too bad I only own a 15-30mm tube, I didn’t get the overall pictures. However, it can be combined in a photoshop. Sorry also has lens reflections and debris in the cell.

Rare halos

Eila Tiirinen

All morning I blinked at the sky while washing the windows, because there seemed to be a promising high cloud in the sky. Nothing was visible. Then, while cooking, I glanced out the window, there was a horizon ring. Urgently out to shoot. Here is the result. By noon, this play was already over. Waiting for something new. Thank you very much for your interest and comments. I added one more picture that probably doesn’t bring anything new to this set.

Rare halos

I went to photograph the birds with 600 hundred. Let me look at the sky as I drove when it looked like a cloudy cloud suitable for halos. And yes, there were side suns and upside down, and soon a horizon ring and other side-by-side was visible. Zyk or a 45-degree ring was visible, but did not hit the pictures. Look when there was nothing but a cell phone with which I photographed ... I added one more picture of the horizon ring .. this point is almost opposite the sun, something in a west-northwest direction .. maybe!

Total lunar eclipse

Eila Tiirinen

I stained for a couple of hours in the morning in a 25 degree frost to photograph the lunar eclipse. The weather was favorable, but the pictures did not meet my expectations. The camera also froze, there were difficulties with the adjustments. But after the fire tried.

I could wait for the pearl clouds to appear at sunset. And you could see them. Were impressive looking. Forced to put many pictures. Fog hampered visibility and shooting. Not right in favor of pictures.
