We went with the hostess once again for an evening ride, this time to Laitila Black Lake. We stepped onto the beach to see how the Milky Way would look right. Well, it was visible. My wife already had camera stacks with me by the beach, but I still have it in the car, so the tripod ... the camera is always in my pocket. quickly get a tripod from the car that just didn’t have time for the scenery to change, didn’t have time and grabbed the best picture I’ve ever taken on my cell phone.

The cloudy sky in October cracked so much that even the rainbow appeared on the exhibits! I also tried to compile a short, about an hour-long, timelapse video about the birth and death of the arc itself ... badly the latter, but that's how it wants to go in this life - fleeting (even great moments); A few previous observations of the 'life cycle' of the rainbow are already here in the Sky Watch, but isn't this suitable as an extension of the motley arc set? The quality of the video is not dizzying, and the Cloud Cover coming from the north can even distract from the rainbow on ...

Okay, Okean-O satellite pictured. It may be necessary to clarify this observation a little. In early 2021, I set a desire & goal for myself to recover the ‘streak’ left by 100 different satellites in the Bear Camera. However, this is the so-called allsky camera, so it is almost impossible to capture any single phenomenon or event from the images in the camera. Instead, I realized that I could try to get to know the world of satellites myself - when they are enough, almost annoyingly ... but also because they are quite visible celestial bodies. The Bongaa 100 , organized in honor of Ursa's ...

I was describing the northern lights at the base of the Keminmaa lookout tower. My spouse exclaimed from behind him, "Suddenly Twinkle, turn the camera west! See what a miracle there is!" For an unauthorized length of time, I was stupid before I got the camera in place, then I got three pictures of it. And I have to say that it was quite a wild feeling for such a sci-fi movie friend to find out calmly what could be the cause of the phenomenon. Damn great experience!

A piece of the most beautiful space ... small, but the most famous and described part of the object itself IC 1396. Forecasts for the weather seemed completely unworthy for most of the week, but as if by order for Saturday night, there was a fairly clear observation time! It must have been true to try to take advantage of. The evening went quite calmly, without thinking about major worries - the coffee was consumed almost in a pan and time passed surprisingly quickly. Observations were made at several sites, both at the observatory and remotely. In the "Picture of the Hour" last night's gi...

My dilute but emotional gift to Ulvila Observatory from its 30-year journey. Apparently Pluto has not been observed from there before - let alone photographed ... but I had to try to get pictures of this ex-planet from there now as well. Quite streaks are the stars, and also the target itself - but recognizable nonetheless. One way or another: In this case, Stellarium served as a tool for identification, which also provides more extensive information about the situation at the time of filming ...

The company draws the Caucasus Mountains in its evening light. Calippus C has lost its western edge, but the eastern edge, especially its southern part, rises to a height of 5 km. Montes Caucasus is said to be an Imbrium throw, but the concentric alignments don't really fit !? A cell phone rap at 3:49 a.m. shows a low ridge heading northeast from Theaetus. This shallow form has a width of about 25 km and a length of about 100 km. The ridge did not appear in the drawing, but the shoreline is also in the shade.

The company draws Fracastorius in late night lighting. It was formed on a 400 km diameter ring of the Nectaris basin, and tilted towards the sea due to the depression of lava. In a better picture and better lighting, an east-west slope stands out in the middle of the crater. On the north side of the channel, the lava is darker, and less cratered than in the south. The Fracastorius, more than 120 km in diameter, is No. 21 on the Lunar100 catalog.
