nice captures.... Did anyone had recording on at Graves frequency, within higher time resolution...? Interested to see what kind reflections there usually are, especially for the head-echos (doppler change rate per seconds)

fyi, In Finland newspapers there was indication of this brownish fine "sand-dust" at 23.2.2021. At least in Laihia & Finland, there has been this type dust on top of snow. Today I also noticed article, from Finnish meteorological Institute FMI. They are asking citizens to send samples....

does it work ok on your browsers now ? I cannot see correctly anymore the old window on top of forum main page- where single lines of posted comments was there from various users?

hello, is there anyone on this forum, who has used a diffraction grating film ? Did not found a thread on search here... Just picked up letter in the mail, containing small piece of 1000 lines per mm grating. First look it seems almost fully transparent, but it needs to look at an suitable angle. I ...

fyi. Northern light were shown on the timelapse sequence on my meteor camera (WAT 910HX, central Finland). I saw activity SGO magnetograms... Most active forms were on 19:20 UTC today (aurora belt rising up, vertical pillars). Not very bright but as the camera has large pixels, it shows auroras quit...

too bad that the sky is cloudy, in central Finland. Last two hours, there is clearly seen disturbances in magnetic field (SGO magnetogram, Sodankylä, Finland)....

Included 3D measured VHF echoes from plasma trail. Also effects seen on th...

fyi. Noticed one interesting video, with allsky lens. Video is taken on Kittilä, Finland. Shows clearly the movement of crystals and location of light source(s) on ground...

Currently sky is cloudy in central Finland. Also cloudy night hours in local forecast (9th/10th December). Partially cloudy in forecast, but that is in the 5AM tomorrow local time. Does not look good for visual observations here. If auroras are bright enough, it could brighten cloud cover a bit.... ...

Question related to sun activity... Has anyone here been following Tamitha Skov on YouTube ? I have found it to be very good source of information. And the things also what happen in the sun at different phases. Many times there is generic lectures, and occasionally very deep ones, like focusing to ...

thanks for asking :) If I will ever build (or paying someone to build) a house, most propably I will not built a house like this. I do not know how the materials are suitable for four differtent seasons in Finland, in longer time-scale. I mean like 30 years or more... Otherwise it would be nice to v...

fyi, I did not found any other category, so share this here...

Last night was a good one :-) I attach one sample of my images. Got still shutter problems with my old Nikon D200. But managed to get some photos at least. This one is taken at 02:10 local time. Direction to east sky... The display did not have all the brightest auroras. Couple of more brighter auro...

I also checked, and in Audacity you can "transfer" the sounds of bats to frequency range - where it can be heard by human ears. It was a bit similar sound, what is usually heard in bat detector...

thanks for comments. What I have been there is also "social sounds" that bats use, some of them might be under 20kHz ? I remember once entering a barn, to pick up firewood. It happaned approx one month / two months ago. I had mosquitos flying around me. I went indise of barn. Did start to ...
