Perseids, Kangasala

I was again in Kangasala on the beach of Luksiala watching the best star flight flock of the year.
Conditions favorable, warm (+15) and not disturbed for a month.

Other stargazers from Tampere had arrived and what was more comfortable.
It was nice to listen to the happy screams every time a starburst appeared.
So thank you for the good company.

My own viewing balance got unnecessarily small due to unnecessary rolling, but I still saw a few great star flights. Also, again, bats flew over us.

I tried taking pictures with light equipment - the Olympus Stylus pocket and the Huawei P20 Pro pocket.
The Milky Way captured the images reasonably well (although it wasn't completely dark yet).
I haven't checked the pocket pictures yet, but here are a few cell phone flaps (the first one possibly a star flight).

The third image shows a hint of the North American fog.

Edit: added a 9x60s exposure shot as a fourth image with a paperback (Olympus Stylus 1). Approximately the same area as a cell phone camera. Not much difference to a cell phone picture except the stars look cooler.
And yet the fifth picture on paper with 5x60s of exposures. Jupiter the brightest and to the right of Saturn.
