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.

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.

Beautiful auroral activity on March 4/5, 2024. There was an intense, and brief, spiral in front of the aurora at am 02.00 (local time) on March 05, 2024. Just above the mountain. It turned out to be a Falcon-9 rocket (2nd-stage) from SpaceX. A fireball was also captured during the observation run. Please, find times notated on the images.
