Gregory's ServerWell what a night it was...
I didn't expect very much since Munich is quite far south, but what unfolded surpassed our wildest expectations!
It took me a while to edit these images, in total I took more than 2000, but that also means there are some timelapses waiting to be processed :)

And in case you missed them last night, tonight is another great chance for Europe. The forecast is not quite as good as yesterday's crazyness, but it should still reach down to mid latitudes once darkness starts. @tobie1 you'll want to wait until astronomical twilight starts which is around 22:43 in Cologne. Unobstructed Northern horizon is important and the less light pollution in that direction the better. @stim3on Including the satellite dish is very effective, I find! We had cloud cover here, alas. But maybe tonight... @tom30519 Thanks Tom, it was a night worth remembering.  @stim3on@fosstodon.org wish I'd got my camera out, but I am grateful for all the images here - these in particular are awesome 👌
@stim3on@fosstodon.org Great shots! Could you really see these colours from your own eyes or are they due to the long exposure? Impressive. @stim3on I have seen them in Montréal, which is quite a bit south. It’s almost halfway between the North Pole and the equator. It was an amazing show that nature is giving us. |
The large dishes belong to an old satellite ground station in Raisting, near Ammersee in southern Bavaria that was built in the 1960 and is still operating to this day.
