Of course, the lunar eclipse had to be filmed. The hot day only sadly caused so much fog in the lower atmosphere that the whole moon did not even appear until just shortly before 11 p.m. The hour-time child (~ 22: 30-23: 30) failed miserably, but still recovered even a few somewhat remotely tolerable screens and here’s the best of them; though that too just because a starburst hit the same picture. Note to self: Finally, get a valid telephoto lens.

The walking of the dogs switched to a very brisk walk when I noticed a dim but fast-paced movement above the treetops. Suddenly from home the camera and tripod aboard and the seaside to shoot. I missed the Most Active Desolations and eventually, with the northern lights already fading, the clouds ruined the rest, but something grabbed the cell anyway. A couple of single images + 6x10sec exposure as a gif animation.

A picture taken by my mother from the balcony on an iPad (used with permission) of a halo phenomenon seen in Lahti on Sunday after noon and as a friend the same quickly used in Photoshop through USM. I turned the image so that the horizon is approximately straight for the identification of halos. There seems to be all sorts of things out there, even though the iPad image is pretty hazy and I may not recognize everything myself.

I drove from Ostrobothnia towards Helsinki, when at about 1:30 pm my attention was drawn to the brightness that was noticeable even under the sun. I first thought it was a 46 degree arc and maybe it was because the brightness was so far from the sun and not directly below the sun. At the same time, I noticed strange-looking upper clouds and from that moment on for the next hour, I wasn’t necessarily the safest car driver in the world because I peered out the windows probably every 30 seconds. At about 1:45 p.m., more clouds began to accumulate in the sky and at the same time I noticed that the...

The thick cloud curtain gave way as the dog went out and I noticed that there were ragged upper clouds in the sky and the conditions became quite favorable for the halos, so I went to look for the camera and little by little a thin ring started to form around the sun. At no point did the phenomenon in any way become particularly bright or clear, but enough that the images show a vertical pillar, side suns, a hint of a horizon arc in addition to the 22-degree ring, and if I don't see it wrong now, it would seem ).

For a long time, the sky meant to be almost clear, so I tuned the camera to the balcony to record the evening’s offerings. The cell was captured by 89% of the moon, the Moon and Jupiter (this observation) and Orion descending over the neighboring house.

I was going to the store and this was the first thing I saw when I walked out the door: a rising moon with absolutely exceptionally bright side moons and as a companion a very dim but almost full 22 degree ring. As such, ironic timing, because I had just 10min before leaving thought that it would be nice if I already had a decent camera, not having to shoot atmospheric phenomena on a mobile phone (iPhone 6 as a recording medium and VSCO as a camera software).

Excited about the morning show, I went out to see if some kind of halo phenomenon could be seen here in Tallinn as well, and how Cloud Cloud covered the sky from yesterday onwards. :)
