Tonight was the best chance I have had to image Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas c/2023 a3 but it was still was obstructed by clouds / haze. Maybe there will be another chance over the coming nights to capture a better shot.
But for now this is the best I have managed and I am very pleased to have a small reminder of this Comet.

Pretty sky at night.
The NLC are very bright tonight and mixed with the fluffy pink clouds just makes it perfect.

Camping in the Summer under skies like this is just the best!

Last night we had a few Earth directed CME's connect with Earth that sparked unbelievable Aurora.
It should be continuing into the night again. Here in Tampere is was not really dark enough until 01:00 and luckily it was showing in the South so the brightness of the Sun was not interfering too much.
There was multiple Coronas during the hour of good viewing we had.

This picture was taken with the Honor Magic 6 Pro.

Not long ago I got the Nikon z6ii, it has been an amazing camera. I traded in my Tamron 150-600 as a part exchange for it.
But I missed it, so I borrowed the Tamron 150-600mm G2 with intentions to buy it. But it felt weird when shooting the Osprey, I was not really happy with how it balanced in the hand.
So next was to try the Tamron Z mount 150-500 and oh my it felt great. But by adding the MB-11 grip to the camera it has made it feel amazing I am really happy with how it is all coming together now. Then looking at the images and I am really amazed by the quality.
