While sailing in the Norwegian Sea around 23:00, a show started in the sky. Unfortunately, the camera is a OnePlus 8T cell phone on hand. However, it stuck fairly well.

I happened to go outside to see if there were any illuminating night clouds in the sky, and they were. The camera is a OnePlus 8T mobile phone, shot from the arm. Too bad there isn't a better camera.

Canon 6D Samyang 14mm @ f2.8 ISO 1600 10sec / image. At about 9pm I started taking a timelapse and at around 11pm the reposet exploded properly. https://youtu.be/LRZbXOkSufE At that timelapse. Unfortunately, Youtube packs the quality into a lousy one.

Half-sky auroras

21.11.2017 at 22.00 - Levi (IV)
Ville Pirttilahti

Northern lights and cloud forecasts weren’t good at all that night, but I decided to go watch anyway. At 21 o'clock the first pulse began which clotted rapidly. At 10 p.m., there was an actual bigger pulse that filled the sky with active northern lights. A great experience for myself as well as a few other foreigners who happened to be on top of Levi at the same time.

Faint naked-eye comet PANSTARRS

3.4.2013 at 22.00 - Kontiolahti (IV)
Ville Pirttilahti

We decided to go with a couple of guys to see if the comet and Andromeda would be suitable for the description. in the evening sky. At the same time, I would get a chance to try out the new camera settings so I could get Andromeda properly captured as well. Well, both of them grabbed the box :) Canon 7D + Sigma @ 200mm @ f5.6 ISO 800 45x1min. Stacked with DSS.
