Bright night shining clouds - 8.7.2020 at 23.52 - 9.7.2020 at 02.57 Lahti Observation number 91671

Visibility IV / V


Classically pretty northern victorious night clouds, partly with a touch of zenith.

Looking for tighter boundaries on the telecom, you can find wildly detailed details in the clouds. 4.7. compared to the nights, the wave density is higher, probably due to a more oblique angle of view (closer to the horizon).

Closer to the three, Comet C / 2020 F3 Neowise also managed to hit the box. At dusk it remains rather modest, but perhaps the natural pastel shades place a bit.

Timelapse between 1.20 and 2.00.

Edit: Timelapse on youtube.

Hienot kuvat.
Videosta tulee mieleen lainehtiva meri, ja jostain syystä Solaris.
