Many nights in a row with auroras. A meteoroid disintegrated at about UTC 18.59, hence a bright meteor was imaged. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Details: 7.5mm fisheye-lens, Canon 650D.

This meteor was also captured by an AllSky7 camera (AMS135) I operate jointly with the Norwegian Meteor Network.

The plan was to observe the Moon occulting Saturn, but shortly before the event clouds came rolling in. Earlier in the afternoon there was a nice corona around the Moon, as it was closing in on Saturn before the occultation. Venus was also nearby, a beautiful set of objects in the twilight. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Photo details: Canon 800D, Canon RP, Sigma 50-500mm lens, Celestron C8.
