A fireball at night, as bright as a crescent moon - 6.9.2022 at 00.39 Kokkola Observation number 109113

Visibility III / V


After a cloudy weekend, I desperately went to look for solace in the form of using the northern lights, when the cloud maps and values promised a reasonable chance of catching it.

After the aurora borealis died down, I waited for a while, lighting the northern sky, and I thought it would be like this. I went to pick up the camera backpack a short distance away, at the same time pressing the remote shutter button in my pocket. Slipping on the beach stones, waving a flashlight, I saw a quick flash in the corner of my eye, but I thought it was just the flash of a lighthouse coming from the sea. When I got to the camera and took a few more photos, I noticed while scrolling through them that the fireball had stuck to the camera.

onko tässä päiväys oikein, lähinnä mietin kameran exif tietoja ? Vesannolta käsin näkyi 6.9.2022 klo 00:39:51 kirkkaahko tulipallo matalalla pohjoisen suunnalla...

Joo, väärinhän se oli. Kiitos vinkkauksesta ???? Yöllä klikkasin väärän päivän, kun kuvaa lisäilin.

Missä paikalla tämä kuva on tarkalleen otettu?Kuvassa on merenrantaa mutta kartalla paikka on lähellä Kokkolan giganttia.Olisin laskeskellut hieman tulipallon lentorataa mutta tarvitsen siihen tarkan sijainnin.

Joo, merkkasin ihan vain Kokkolan havaintopaikaksi. Mutta kuva otettu Hällskarissa Kokkolassa. Google Maps taitaa löytää Vesikarin laavun, siitä suoraan rantaan.

Vielä yhden kysymyksen heittäisin.Havainto on kirjattu klo 00.39 mutta kameran kello on 1.39.Kumpikohan on oikea aika?

Sami Mutka - 7.9.2022 at 22.01 Report this

00:39 on oikea aika. En tiedä miksi noihin exiffeihin tullut 1:39, vasta siirsin kameran kellon oikeaan aikaan
