Clearly visible night shining clouds - 4.6.2023 at 23.48 - 5.6.2023 at 02.00 Laitila Observation number 116515

Visibility III / V

Pirjo Koski, Porin Karhunvartijat

Tomorrow, crazy pictures from the night. I didn't expect such a wide and intense start..Edit.smart pictures added.

The spectacle began to take shape in the sky before midnight (at 11:48 p.m.) and when returning home from an evening walk with Riku, we wondered whether the fibers appearing in the east/southeast direction were aircraft debris or perhaps the beginnings of night owls. Thoughts were exchanged with Matias Takala, and Matias defended the yökkös at the very beginning, when the signatory still hesitated.

I finally went home to pick up the shaker and during that time the sky was full of night sky and there was hardly any ambiguity. I had to rush to the neighbor's house to capture the season's first, rather raucous, vypis that were scattered over a wide area. the night cloud area was located in the sky in such a way that the only area where no clouds could be seen was the direction of the south, right on the side of the Moon. There was a light fiber above the trees in the north as well, but it was left out of the picture, because the directions to the east and west took all the attention.

Kuvassa, jossa on aikaleima 23:48, en erota muita pilviä kuin tumma pilvisuikale vasemmalla alhaalla ja keskellä kuvan poikki kulkeva heikosti punertava kaistale, joka voi olla vastaruskon viime vivahteita. Oma kokemukseni on ja tässäkin näytöksessä oli, että kamera on selvästi parempi kuin silmät, kun taustataivas on vielä vaalea (aurinko oli vasta nelisen astetta horisontin alapuolella).

Jokaisella on oma näkemyksensä eikä kuvaa ole käsitelty mitenkään :)Sen kuvassa olevan vaalean kuidun perusteella jäin kuitenkin kytikseen.
