The curls promised really wild aurora borealis. After it got dark, I started to follow them and I was a little disappointed at the beginning, because the thin thin layer of clouds in the northern direction prevented proper visibility. After all, something was visible (picture 1). After midnight, however, the situation changed decisively, as the aurora borealis began to be clearly visible to the eye at the very zenith and almost to the south (picture 3, it is photographed facing east-southeast and shows Suomenlinna church tower on the left and Harmaja pilot station with lighthouses on the right...

I set the camera to record the series because it was the maximum of the lyrid swarm. And quite a lot caught the cell, mostly satellites. I will put two pictures according to my observation: picture 1 is a compilation of approx. 60 satellite frames. The picture is not very high-quality because I only added streaks caused by satellites to one still picture. That's why it has so many small millimeter-long cross lines. If I had stacked these images as they are, it would only show semicircle-shaped streaks of stars. I didn't even try to find out the names of the satellites when there were s...

Weaving on Helsinki's sea horizon. Figure 3 is interesting in that the three objects shown in it are not ships, because on at least two other days they were seen again in exactly the same places. Could it be, for example, reflections from the structures of Vuosaari harbor, e.g. cranes?

Unfortunately, dense fog covered visibility all night and spoiled a show that otherwise could have been the best for many years. Sometimes, however, the fog dissipated for about half an hour, so much so that there was a glimmer of green from the rest of the clouds. A couple of pictures of it.

The predictions were correct, there were great aurora borealis that stood out visually. The brightness might not have been top class, at least here in the very center of the city, but the fires spread over a wide area from north to west. Perhaps it would have been worth staying a little longer to monitor the situation, but you always know that in hindsight. Good like that.

Otherwise, on a gray day, the zenith ambient arc and maybe a hint of 22r showed up for a very short moment.
