Eye-catching night shining clouds - 26.7.2018 at 00.00 - 26.7.2018 at 02.50 Viitasaari Observation number 75762

Visibility V / V

Saara Tuohimetsä

After empty nights, there was more to watch than watching moths and bats. The observation started from Viitasaari, from where we stopped to capture a picture of the Hännilänsalmi bridgehead. Unfortunately, the drive of less than a hundred kils of the four-way road was to the south, which had to hang in the side window and splash pictures backwards. But no matter when it was funny, it was so warm Huju from the window (compared to the winter halo shots). However, the night clouds were still visible in Laukaa and even better. Really beautiful sky and quite long belts.
