Aurigidit, Espoo

When it had become clear a few days earlier that Alpha Aurigids might have a more spectacular spike this year, this flock of meteors had to be taken a look for the first time in their lives.

There was a bit of a thin cloud in the sky by the time I was shooting, but luckily it disappeared pretty much while I tuned the camera to click the pictures. The balance left for about half an hour was one pretty decent fireball, which at 00.53 luckily hit the camera's field of view and ended up in the image of an observation when the direction of travel seemed to rumble quite a bit in the sun guides. A couple of other less spectacular meteors that probably belonged to the flock hit their own eyes, and as a bonus, a single relatively spectacular meteor that tumbled in the direction of the Driver rather. When the weather was still nice outside to admire the sky, this is a good trip.
