Jössespentele in the peach tree, which is good for lovers of heavenly fires. The evening's play was a bit of a wait, but it was again worth all the vigilance and freezing. The special feature of the evening was the SAR arc that appeared in varying degrees on the west side from around 0:40 onwards. Towards the end of the show, a cluster of aurora borealis appeared to the west that looked a bit special and I dismissed it as unrecognizable, because I haven't seen anything like that before, are they all ordinary rays and belts zig-zag, but an awful lot of stuff in the southern / western sk...

I drove towards Lausti and while driving along the coast I paid attention to the area where it was raining heavily in places. At that time, there were reasonably high cloud tops visible in the west and northwest direction, but the drive plus getting to the destination and setting up the camera and tripod took a while for the cloud tops to be farther out at sea. I had promised to photograph the neighbor's excavator and a landscape constellation, well that came true but something else was also visible. Namely, the tiny ribbon-like rain area on the coast then took and flashed with great care....

I still had to record them, once the ban was over, and both planets had elliptical rings.

It was another night when you should have had six hands and five cameras. So read: you had to hurry, say. The husband missed one fire and now there was a clear place for revenge. The values were terrible, the speed of the solar wind disturbed the magnetic field over 800 km/s, it would be expected to go quite hard for the second night in a row. And at the same time a growing sleep debt. We drove to Laust full of will to fight. The repo arch at the height of kp 4 was waiting for us to be activated again. I had a deja-vu feeling from last night. We would go again. What would be on the program tod...

The evening's repo values weren't amazing at first, but somehow Etiäinen was tickled to get things ready. In the evening I was in two stages, whether to go out to freeze or stay at home. Fortunately, the spirit of adventure prevailed. I took a look at Pori's Bear Camera and it confirmed that the bank would need to turn around, the camera started to show a stout arched rack matching the kp-3 readings. Fortunately, the parking lot is ready, -thanks my neighbor. I called for help from a neighbor the day before, the new snowfall brought a little too much snow (thirty centimeters of thi...

On the evening of the 26th, the duo also looked pretty. The first picture with a smartphone and the second with a mobile phone

In the evening, I had to go for a short run in the nearby scenery :) The fairly stable arc remained quite stationary for a couple of hours, except for a short activation.

It's kind of a "butt nose" kind of thing. While developing the image, in addition to the zodiacal light, streaks of mother-of-pearl brown were found.

Pearl hunting spin-off: Bishop's ring! The brown area around the setting sun was striking and attracted attention. Bishop is a new thing for me, it's just a great hobby!

In the afternoon, the first type I nacre clouds were visible in the three countries. I threw a couple of noises into the ether and I decided to go and look for a possible future mother-of-pearl brown. I drove straight to Salon to see the situation. For once, the location selection was successful, but now we would need visibility to the surroundings... Pearls were visible to some extent, the weather on earth was mild, it was the first proper spring evening. I was describing mother-of-pearl and the beginning of brown, when I got to witness something absolutely incredible. From the horizon rose t...

I went to take a look a little before half past five in the direction of the west. The fibers that looked like pearls turned out to be pearls and from then on the pearl alarm was on. It was an absolutely insane show again. Nacres like and looking like luminous night clouds spread across the sky to the west, in fact it was probably a big nacreous cloud that was visible to us in Laitila. At first, there were familiar, silver-colored and shimmering clouds in the sky, i.e. class I pearls. As the sun went down, the scale of the play was revealed. Pearls were ⅜ from heaven. After the sun went down, ...

On an epic pearly cloud evening, I decided to brave the freezing wind and go see if I could hear pearly clouds. Well, there was something about the moon. Pastel-colored and reddish, slightly shimmering clouds. Hmm. I took the pictures and watched the cloud for a quarter of an hour. It didn't move at all during that time, the other clouds did move across the sky. No clouds were visible on the radar, but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole truth. The eye could see pastel colors even now, and in the twilight a few hours earlier had seen an absolutely divine pearly cloud show, which co...

Well huhuhuh. Fortunately, I peeked out the kitchen window. Pearly clouds were spread from the south all the way to the west, but these two glowing freaks stole all the attention. Incredible colors!

For a long time, I have wanted to go to Vehmaa to film. I don't know any other place or area there than the legendary Uhlu granite quarry. I asked the owner for a "green card" to enter the area, but this time the visit would be conducted in the dark. The purpose of the evening was to photograph the Milky Way with pearls and spot a comet. All of them came true, but in addition we also got to see a pretty nice glow in the air. Fortunately, the comet was captured in the early evening, namely the airglow pretty well lost the faintest stars and also the comet for a few hours. Unfortunately, in ...

The husband navigated the sky like it was the last day, the target was found and the undersigned tried to record the ZTF, i.e. the green utopulla, i.e. the comet. My husband and I ran away from light pollution and Laitila's "laser swords" in Uhlu, Vehma. The comet could be seen faintly with the naked eye in Vehmaa and also later in Laitila, with the background light eating away its "brightness." It was surprisingly nice even with putty lenses :)

Johan bounced. After a long time, a really beautiful pearly brown with type I & II clouds. Naturally, we were packing the romper into the car and leaving to drive towards Vehmaa when these appeared in the sky... Unfortunately, the best clouds of level II were only visible at dusk on the drive to Vehmaa. My husband and I marveled at the somewhat strange, brown-toned "cloud", which, to be honest, we thought in Laitila at first as sea fog or some kind of mist, (OMG, did the evening's plans get watered down?) but apparently it was also related to the pearls seen, I don't know? The brownish...
