A binocular comet, however, which I did not see with binoculars, but I aimed the camera at Capella and Menkalina. An image of a combination of two images. The image is cropped to some extent. Weak night clouds also appeared in the picture through adjustments. Canon 5D mkIII, EF 70-200 / 2.8, 70 mm 400 ISO, f 5.6.

In the diffused light of the agglomeration on the edges of the cloud front, a clear but dim northern light.

Artificial light columns in case of light snowfall.

Binocular comet Lovejoy

29.11.2013 at 08.12 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Matti Kari

There was still a bit of a trend in the morning comet shooting in the search, and such a combination hit the edge of the picture. The image is rotated 90 degrees to the right.

Several halo forms

Moon

11.5.2013 at 22.17 - Uusikaupunki, Pyhämaa, Pitkäluoto (I)
Matti Kari

The old "moonlight" of the day, not visible to the naked eye, but grabbed the camera cell. I've been hunting for this for a few years now.

Comet with naked eye coma PANSTARRS

17.3.2013 at 20.03 - Uusikaupunki (IV)
Matti Kari

I was filming the PanSTARRS comet after sunset hoping to make it more visible than on Friday. At the same time, I noticed that the sky was filling the northern lights and I got a little bit of both in the same box.

Quiet aurora arc

1.3.2013 at 22.48 - Uusikaupunki (II)
Matti Kari

The phenomenon, initially seen as a dim arc of northern lights, turned into a brighter glow and a living fire. The clear starry sky around provided the setting and added enjoyment in addition to the northern lights.

One halo form

2.12.2012 at 09.31 - Uusikaupunki (I)
Matti Kari

A short-lived solar pillar at sunrise. Picture taken through a window. The light phenomenon weakened rapidly as the sun climbed upwards. Coincidentally, I was just looking out the window at that moment. From the second picture (clumsily) shopmed light post off.
