Venus ja kuu

21.3.2015 at 19.22 - 19.22 - Joroinen (III)
Harri Haukka, Warkauden Kassiopeia

Venus and the narrow crescent moon were nicely visible, so quickly with a cell phone camera to shoot.

Venus ja Mars

20.2.2015 at 18.35 - Vaasa (IV)
Timo Alanko, Vaasan Andromeda

The bright evening attracted us to admire the rapprochement of Venus and Mars. The moon fit comfortably in the same box. Later, the country house looked better, but now it is photographed under orange street lights ... So we moved quickly to the yard of the Strömösö filming location, but a little too late. Didn't go the way it did in Strömsö!

Jupiter

20.1.2015 at 22.21 - Tyrnävä (IV)
Jarmo Moilanen, Ursa (Pohjois-Suomi)

A random picture of Jupiter. I was filming the comet Lovejoy and at first I looked into the condition of the focus. Jupiter shone in the sky, so I focused on it. As I focused, I suddenly noticed two of its moons next to Jupiter on the camera screen. At the same time, I flipped this picture with the settings on the camera. The cliff is on the lower left and Ganymedes on the upper right of Jupiter. At the time of filming, Io and Europa were still inside the glow of Jupiter. They are on the same side as Ganymedes. Just a few minutes earlier, Europa has left the front of Jupiter's disk. The ex...

Jupiter

6.1.2015 at 03.19 - Lempäälä (II)
Ari Haavisto, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

The first Jupiter of the year in crisp frost, but poor seeing and transparency. However, with infrared steeling and a slight over-treatment, I got something visible. Another picture the same, but just rgb channels. Third image ir-rgb image at 2.35

Ari Haavisto, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Europa half-appearing from the shadow of Jupiter, appearing as a "crescent." Image infrared image. Another picture taken twenty minutes earlier, the colors in it. The weather was mostly bad, but these couple of more stable moments were.

Jupiter

15.2.2015 at 00.25 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Mikko Ankelo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

For a long time filming Jupiter. The wind waved the tube so hard that I had to take the frost tube off to keep the planet on the camera cell during shooting.

Jupiter

16.2.2015 at 20.43 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Mikko Ankelo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Ganymede and the shadow of Ganymede on the surface of Jupiter. The largest moon in Jupiter and at the same time in the entire solar system casts a handsome shadow on the surface of the planet. The weather was pretty bad, but the fact that it is clear at all already gives a description of the subject.

Venus ja Mars

18.2.2015 at 19.30 - Kaarina, Ravattula (III)
Matti Tainio, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Venus and Mars are less than two degrees apart at dusk. The clouds interrupted the session one minute after the last picture was taken. The landscape was to be taken as a mobile phone photo taken earlier in the evening. After a little sharpening, Mars appears in it as well.

Venus

12.3.2015 at 17.58 - Jyväskylä (II)
Jesse Kyytinen, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

The first time I see Venus during the day. It was special to watch the starry point in the sky when the sun was just setting.

Jupiter

15.4.2015 at 22.20 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Mikko Ankelo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Jupiter photographed in a reasonable weather. Hopefully now in the spring there will still be plenty of good filming before the nights get shorter and brighter. Fortunately, planets can be described from a rather light sky.

Matti Helin, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Pretty encounter.

Kuu, Venus ja Aldebaran

21.4.2015 at 23.30 - Raisio (II)
Mikko Peussa, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Circular encounter of celestial bodies. So the sky got to a thin cloud, because I didn't fool to start shooting before. Utu surprised, but let's go with the frames now :)

Jupiter

21.4.2015 at 23.00 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Mikko Ankelo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Jupiter still shines bright, even as the nights are getting shorter. Shooting is still great for a while.

Kuu, Venus ja Aldebaran

21.4.2015 at 23.10 - Jyväskylä (IV)
Jesse Kyytinen, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

The crescent moon shone next to Aldebaran, who had just seen a bright red, Venus was also nearby.

Venus ja Seulaset M45

9.4.2015 at 23.00 - Jyväskylä (IV)
Jesse Kyytinen, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Venus has been moving closer to Seoul all the time in the spring.

Jupiter

26.4.2015 at 22.27 - Uusikaupunki (III)
Mikko Ankelo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Jupiter 4/26/2015 I photographed the same regions of Jupiter on April 21, 2015. Pretty fast, changes seem to be happening, especially in the northern equatorial belt (NEB). The weather was reasonable, but good weather is still expected ...

Venus ja Merkurius

6.1.2015 at 16.03 - Rautalampi (II)
Vesa Vauhkonen, Ursa (Itä-Suomi)

Mercury just began to stand out before sinking into the jigsaw puzzle. Venus was clearly visible. Added a more rigorous image.
