On the evening of December 1, 2023, I photographed (from Yuzhno-Morskoy, Nakhodka) a very rare phenomenon for this latitude and area (in the south of Primorsky Krai, coordinates 42.86 N, 132.69 E, on the coast of the Sea of Japan, above Gaidamak bay): the aurora. This can be seen in the photographs taken by me from 12:55 to 13:14 UT (I am attaching one of them: at 13:14 UT, Canon EOS 60D camera, exposure 15 sec., ISO-2500, f/3.5, 18 mm). I saw this with the naked eye in the form of a faint glow against the background of a bright sky illuminated by the Moon, and I made a video-timelapse of this from 64 frames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llsH87FsXFI
