One halo form

7.6.2016 at 18.30 - Oulu (I)
Tuomas Satokangas

Tommo grabbed my cell phone when the camera wasn't available (read: couldn't stand to pick up). The arc was probably 300 degrees, and relatively wide, less often self-contained.

Pääsateenkaari

15.5.2016 at 22.30 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

There was a really nice sunset and a little rain in Oulu yesterday, which made it possible to photograph a rather nice rainbow. Unfortunately, the late arrival at the scene and the 24-70mm lens didn’t allow you to shoot the entire arc, so here are just snippets.

Half-sky auroras

14.4.2016 at 23.40 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

It was a show. The "somehow" raps in my yard would be here. It was a small catch that I missed, the dogs and the cameras were already inside when I decided to go and see if .. Some idea came that now the camera is out suddenly. Worth it! Yes, it was the most colorful and fast-paced tears of my life, there was form and color for just about every departure. If this was the "season end" then that's fine for me. :)

Active aurora band

3.4.2016 at 23.00 - 03.00 - Oulu (III)
Tuomas Satokangas

The best pieces of Sopovati were not seen, as a childhood when I sometimes had to be on duty inside. Too bad in itself when the last ones are taken to this spring and winter was so miserable to bonge their nails. The best of a few of the ten squares here. Here's a link to a nightmare all night (23 ...-> morning). FPS a little too much, but couldn't bear to silence this wound anymore so let's go. :) http://tompapa.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tähtivalphotus/Revontulet 3.4.16 / Timelapse.mp4

Geminidit

14.12.2015 at 23.00 - 04.00 - Oulu (III)
Tuomas Satokangas

Several of yesterday's Geminids were caught on the gopro, I dug the two most spectacular ones (out of approx. 1600 pictures.. :D) In the latter one, the clouds are a bit of a hindrance. The camera is directed to the west-northwest and the times for the pictures are the first 23.05 and the last 3.05. Fifteen second exposure time.

Active aurora band

14.12.2015 at 21.30 - Oulu (III)
Tuomas Satokangas

It was nice when after just over 2 months I was able to describe the fire again, albeit for a short time. Overall nice when you did even a little winter. : D Here are a couple of pictures from the evening, au naturel, unedited so .. For some reason, you can do neck jumping with these, why twist around even though the machine is in the right direction.

Auroras seen through breaks in the clouds

3.11.2015 at 22.00 - Oulu (II)
Tuomas Satokangas

Due to the varying cloud cover, I decided to leave the on-call services to the gopro, which hit the roof for 22.00-7.40. All night, that was supposed to be fire in the sky, in the end it even stands out a little from the blue sky. There would have been something to describe if I had managed to control .. :) Pictures are not like that one mandatory, timelapse here is the main thing, so watch it [Url] http://tompapa.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tähtivalphotus/ [/ url]

All-sky aurora

7.10.2015 at 20.30 - 22.30 - Oulu (V)
Tuomas Satokangas

It was a really nice couple of hours. There are just over 100 pictures on the camera and goprp slapped that pair of h's. Here's something best straight from the camera. :) After all, the colors jumped green, blue and red, almost even yellow, so you can see in one picture. http://tompapa.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tähtivalphotus/Revontulet+7.10/Revontulet1080p.mp4

Earth's shadow

6.10.2015 at 18.30 - Oulu, Haukipudas (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

Quite nice is the shadow of the earth and the backlash seen on clear evenings. Only the phone was included in the jogging trip, but I got some pictures.

Total lunar eclipse

28.9.2015 at 05.30 - 06.30 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

After all, it had to ring at five o'clock to get the best pieces to watch. As such, funny again, when with the camera everything is much redder, maybe I was expecting too much. :) In Lightroom I dug up a few colors, although the last image is a direct RAW-JPEG conversion. Annoying when not found than that 200 pipe, yes this would have required something like 400, but let's go with these ..

Moonn kehä

27.9.2015 at 22.00 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

Quite well, the clouds brought out the perimeter of the moon, unfortunately the place of filming was my own yard, where the trees were a bit detrimental and the change of location would have made it possible to move the clouds away.

Starscape image

15.9.2015 at 23.00 - Oulu (II)
Tuomas Satokangas

The second time I ever tried to describe the Milky Way in that backyard when the belt was visibly visible. Light polluted place but 9 stacked images, ISO1250, shutter speed 20 'per image and aperture 2.8 and something came about. Everything from image processing to processing is still somewhat lost but yes this one. ;)

Aurora rays

11.9.2015 at 23.30 - Oulu (II)
Tuomas Satokangas

I went to that own yard to see if I could get a milky way in the pictures. Yes, it dimly grabbed the cell from there until the repos began to make their entry again. I tried to get the corona and the Milky Way somehow in the same picture (light pollution unexpectedly limited the visibility of the LR) and I myself at least see it on the left side of the corona. Then know if it's just a fantasy ..;) The second image may have been a bit boosted in Lightroom, but it was quite visible even to the naked eye.

Half-sky auroras

10.9.2015 at 22.27 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

I decided to peek into the sky and I guess I could barely hit the right seam when the lights just started to light up slowly. A lot of the images had to be raped, here a few directly from the camera as JPEGs, without any editing and a link to a 40-second time child. Too bad when the battery wasn't quite full when you come in still visible after the video ends. http://tompapa.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tähtivalphotus/ReviksetMP4.mp4

Half-sky auroras

28.8.2015 at 00.30 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

The intention was to get the orbit / stars grabbed at all for the time child, so those Reponen devils came to the detriment. Earlier in the evening at 23 o'clock a few streaks appeared, and I was hoping for a half-hour in the yard if I hadn't started properly but dimmed. Luckily, I pushed the gopro onto the roof too early, if even Reposet happened, and not the stars in the pictures. And it was worth it .. You could tell with close eyes whether there is also a bird's eye view in the background about the middle of the picture?

Aurora rays

15.8.2015 at 23.30 - Oulu (II)
Tuomas Satokangas

When they returned home from the festivities, they came against this, ie the first northern lights of autumn. Slightly due to the presence and cell phone quality but quite distinguishable. Waiting for darker nights!

One halo form

29.6.2015 at 15.50 - Oulu (I)
Tuomas Satokangas

Coming from work, I saw with a sideways eye and in a suitable place the car stopped that got a couple of pictures. When I got home, I had already disappeared so nothing was recorded on the right camera.

Kuun kehä

1.4.2015 at 21.00 - Oulu (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

Nicely the lunar circle began to appear as the clouds increased on Wednesday night.

Moon

24.3.2015 at 21.00 - Oulu (III)
Tuomas Satokangas

As I drove home yesterday, I saw that Venus and the moon were close together so I decided to quickly dig out the camera. There were no wedding group photos, but the sickle was clearly visible and also the rest of the moon. A bit challenging to shoot due to the delicate blizzard of a sickle, but by magically shaping the "shadow" out. Also, that Canon putty 55-250 may not be the best for the job, so far the only tele, so I prefer a worse picture than not at all.

Half-sky auroras

17.3.2015 at 22.15 - Oulu, Herukka (IV)
Tuomas Satokangas

Quick images from the camera screen. The sky was really awesome! If you got the right versions here tomorrow, now just the emergency tastings I saw over the phone. :)
