Visibility III / V
The idea was to record the zodiac light at the beginning of the night and the Milky Way at the end, but upon reaching Pulkkilanharju, the warp of the northern lights took most of the attention.
The presentation was quite colorful, including, in addition to the normal greenish-yellow flutter, also a broader blue-violet color, especially in the higher parts, and a shade of red at the lower edges of the most active shapes.
Interestingly, in the first half of the night, the northern lights were mostly farther north, with internal movement strongly westward; as the morning approached, however, the arch moved closer to the south and west, an internal movement fluttering toward the east.
The movement of the fires was visible from the bluish sky for another half of the five countries as the rams packed, with the sun about six degrees below the horizon.
