A fireball in a twilight sky - 13.12.2020 at 22.48 Utsjoki Observation number 95198

Visibility IV / V


I tried to geminide the image, but the cloudiness hampered visibility. Northern lights stained the cloudy gauze in the sky greenish. I got to see a few flashes and someone hit the picture as well.
