Eye-catching night shining clouds - 26.7.2018 at 00.40 - 26.7.2018 at 03.00 Kemiönsaari Observation number 75686

Visibility V / V

Mikko Peussa, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

It was a play in that class, especially before three in the night, it really attracted attention, so that's the rating. There were night clouds from west to northeast. The brightest in the northern and northeastern directions.

The last image is a gif animation from 01:00 to 01:30 and has 63 images. At the end of the animation, on the right side, can you see how the cloudboards cross, i.e. are they probably at slightly different heights or different distances from the observer?

Great calm night and great experiences once again.

Hienoja. Huomasin myös omassa videossani samoin, että laineet etenivät nopeasti ja vyöt pysyivät lähes paikoillaan. Parhaat kuviot ja liikkeet toistaiseksi.

Hienot kuvat irtosivat Kemiönsaareltakin! Tällaisissa yöpilviöissä on vaan taikaa, voi muistella marraskuisessa räntäsateessa :)
