Last August I saw the most incredible Northern Lights I've ever seen (I've only seen them a few times since I live in the Southern Finland). The entire sky was covered with intense green lights and sudden flashes of red and purple. It was such a divine cosmic sight it was almost terrifying.

These pictures are from the last % of the show because I didn't want to miss the most intense part getting my camera. I even managed to capture one of the Perseids in the second picture.

A magical summer night surprise
On the night of August 12th, the maximum of the Perseid meteor shower, I spontaneously went outside to catch some shooting stars. Little did I know, the night would hold an even more magical surprise.

It was a clear night, and the Perseid meteors didn’

Milky Aurora Shower

This composite was taken during the Perseid shower, which coincided with a spectacular auroral display. The aurora and foreground are from one photo and the Milky Way was stacked from many images of the same series using #Siril. 12 (barely visible) meteorites, that were photographed in the same scene, were (roughly) registered onto the composite. Compositing was done in #GIMP, RAW processing of the aurora and the meteorites was done in #Darktable.

The greatest challenge was compositing the aurora on top of the stacked Milky Way. During the stacking process, the auroras were also stacked, resulting in a combined auroral glow that was much larger than the aurora of the single image I had chosen.

A photo of the northern lights in the sky behind the silhouette of a small tree row and a field. Behind the aurora, in the upper part of the image, are thousands of stars, as well as our galaxy. There are three slightly larger and a few tiny green/yellow/pink meteorite streaks visible.

✨ SARs may look like auroras, but they not the same. Auroras appear when charged particles rain down from space, hitting the atmosphere and causing it to glow like the picture tube of an old color TV. SARs form differently. They are a sign of heat energy leaking into the upper atmosphere from Earth’s ring current system. ✨

Sure, it's not always convenient to live in a remote village and I'm no fan of the Summer heat, but getting to walk for less than five minutes to lie down on the street (!) to watch #Perseids in the fields with my family, with bats overhead and a magnificent linden tree for scale... Life doesn't get better than this, does it?
We saw about 15 in total in one hour. It wasn't the announced maximum yet, but clouds came drifting in and I feel satisfied. 🤩

It’s my birthday! One of my big life wishes is to once upon a time see the actual milky way with my own eyes. Because I’m on a “it’s OK to not have your life together” year I didn’t make work out of planning a trip to a dark zone yet, but me and my wife walked out of rhe city for a little bit and we were able to see a few falling stars 💕 #perseids

My phone has better sight than I at night - the sky above filled with stars and some whisps in between of what should be the Milky Way.
