Aurora borealis, and an east-west oriented arc. September 13/14, 2024.

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

12P/Pond-Brooks, and northern lights. April 5/6, 2024.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks in the bright western sky on April 5, 2024. Details: Canon 800D, Sigma 50-500 mm lens. I’ve been following the comet for several months, and this is most likely the last image I will take of the comet.
