Landscape image of a planet

25.3.2017 at 19.15 - Tampere (III)
Emma Wälimäki

The day was cloudy but fortunately it was at sunset that the sky became clear and the subconjunction of Venus was described. Elongation 8 degrees and 16 minutes.

Kuu ja Jupiter

22.3.2016 at 06.03 - Tampere (IV)
Emma Wälimäki

Clear skies, sleet -15 degrees on a calm frosty night. The frost was so icy that I was content to describe the rise of Saturn and Mars from the southeast to the morning sky, the Moon and Jupiter, and the rather spectacular fall of the Moon above Jupiter.

Half-sky auroras

7.10.2015 at 21.42 - Tampere (IV)
Emma Wälimäki

Time is affected by repos, even though there was some kind of thin gauze in the sky. Rarely do you see repos extending southwest as far as Näsinneula.

Aurora rays

Emma Wälimäki

Already going to sleep, but I came to glance at the activity forecast and TaUsra's weather camera, and then there was a rush to rail the verme over. Despite the light pollution, rays, ripples, and purple were visible. However, it didn’t take very long at all and then faded into a hazy gauze.

Total lunar eclipse

28.9.2015 at 04.30 - 05.05 - Tampere (IV)
Emma Wälimäki

It took a few quick flicks before the clouds covered the sky. The complete eclipse went unnoticed, which did make it a little annoying, so impressive was the initial stage.

Primary rainbow

22.9.2015 at 17.35 - Tampere (IV)
Emma Wälimäki

The main arch was really bright, the side arch quite dim. Stands out just in the picture.

All-sky aurora

17.3.2015 at 21.53 - Tampere (V)
Emma Wälimäki

What a great show again! Amazingly, at least in the early evening, the repos were on the south side and the north remained almost dark. The corona was really mobile, long lasting and made awesome rays.

Quiet aurora band

13.9.2014 at 00.08 - 01.49 - Tampere (II)
Emma Wälimäki

The reposet was a little lukewarm, whether it was due to the moon and somehow foggy air. Admittedly, they extended all the way southwest to the Altair and the Dolphin. I have never before seen repos almost in the southern sky above the city. Great experience.

A fireball at night, as bright as a full moon

14.12.2013 at 04.39 - Tampere (V)
Emma Wälimäki

I tried to describe a landscape constellation despite light pollution and increasing clouds, when a really bright, I think fireball flashed from the sky to the north. The flight lasted as many as 5-7 seconds and ended with a small "pop". Luckily, I peeked right next to the spruce when it flashed out and the direction was pretty much the north-northeast line. The camera was pointed straight north.

One halo form

14.12.2013 at 03.21 - Tampere (I)
Emma Wälimäki

The moon presented such a pretty ring that it had to perpetuate "film." Light pollution only spoils the mood in the picture again, but it is already a standard thing in the center like this.

Auroras seen through breaks in the clouds

30.10.2013 at 23.52 - Tampere (II)
Emma Wälimäki

Yes, this is a bit depressing, the gauges promised a great play all night and then the Skywardens marched into the sky. Behind the clouds, bright beautiful repos occasionally shone.

Active aurora band

3.10.2013 at 02.13 - Tampere (III)
Emma Wälimäki

The early evening was so cloudy that it was creepily tired to sleep, but luckily I woke up early in the morning to admire one of the active stages. And yes, there was a pretty set on offer. Reposet extended from west to northwest all the way to Lyra Vega.

Quiet aurora arc

13.9.2013 at 02.32 - Tampere (II)
Emma Wälimäki

When I had time to shoot, there were already a lot of cloud rafts and fog starting to accumulate. After a few flashes, a massive mist covered everything, even the city and the lights. The measuring point of the hedgehog showed a moisture content of a full 100 and it was noticed. The lens was constantly in fog, as was the stand.

Binocular comet PANSTARRS

Emma Wälimäki

The comet had already captured repo images, but I had to try to capture that as my own image.

A fireball at night, brigter than the venus

18.3.2013 at 01.21 - Tampere (III)
Emma Wälimäki

From the west-northwest shone a bright fireball, which fortunately also came as a white streak, according to the picture. The fireball faded near the northern horizon.
