Visibility III / V

Kari A. Kuure, Jouni Raunio, Markku Lintinen, Tampereen Ursa

A night balloon in the brightness class of Venus recorded by the Night Eye camera on Ursa's observatory in Tampere. The bright star shown in the picture is Capella, so the brightness rating may be a bit overestimated.

That night, a couple of meteors were recorded on the same camera. I also joined them, although they are not the same event.
