As the bright moon was about to rise, I noticed an Upper tangent arc above the mountainside. A brief, and mild display of the northern lights occured, and colored the wintry scene. A few images of the display displayed below. Photo details: Canon 650D, Samyang 8mm fisheye-lens.

A brief, in-between clouds and tree branches, exposure of fading Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS on October 28, 2024. Details: Sigma 50-500mm lens, Canon 800D
OCTOBER 19, 2024.
More cloudy this evening, but got a chance to observe/photograph the comet in-between clouds. Still an interfering Moon. Photo details: Canon 800D, Sigma 50-500 mm lens

The weather finally collaborated. Albeit, the moon strongly influenced the conditions, it was nice to get a view of the comet. Or, rather a few photos of the comet. A couple enclosed. It was not possible to see the comet without optical aids. Photo details: Canon 800D, Sigma 50-500 mm lens
Great space weather, but no so nice earthly weather. Anyhow, here are a few images from October 10/11. Timestamp on images. Some adjustments in contrast and brightness, to compensate for fog and clouds (and rain). Details: Canon 650D, Meka fisheye-lens.
The sky was briefly (somewhat) clear for a brief colorful display of the northern lights. A couple of images snapped around UTC 21.37. Details: Canon 650D / Samyang 8 mm fisheye-lens.
It finally cleared up (somewhat), but not so good conditions. It was indeed a colorful display, in between clouds, and beyond fog. However, the most interesting feature was an east-west oriented arc. It formed at about UTC 21.25 and lasted until about UTC 21.36 it was followed by an intense aurora. The arc appeared in the same loacation where I previously most often have seen/observed STEVE. Please, find timestamp on images. Photo details: Canon 650D, Samyang 8 mm fisheye-lens

Plenty of auroral activity despite the missing CME. A few images of the activity. Please, find timestamp on images. Details: Canon 650D, Samyang 8 mm fisheye-lens.
There was a brief instance of auroral activity on April 21. Not easily seen or photographed because of a bright sky. Interestingly, the contrail like phenomenon STEVE was observed from about UTC 21.02 to 21.34.
STEVE over the mountain. The faint mauve color was captured by an allsky camera (AMS135). Taken at the same time as the DSLR photos below.
