Visibility II / V

Esko Lyytinen, Ursa (Helsinki)

For the first time, I only noticed this. It just hasn’t been clear in the morning.

Intense light pollution on the spot and almost a full moon in the sky.

Stood out with 20x80 binoculars with no problems and 8x42 binoculars just when you knew the exact location.
