Another nice NLC display last night (sun 19th July)

The run of spectacular noctilucent clouds continues with a very fine
display last night in North Yorkshire. It was very clear last night.

A bit low on the northern horizon stretching up to about 10 degrees
altitude and 30 degrees wide with electric blue wisps of bright cloud
forming a roughly oval outline. It almost looked like some daylight sky
had been grafted into the dark late twilight which I suppose is close to
the reality since the stratospheric clouds are still in sunlight.

Did anyone get any decent pictures of the display?

Martin Brown

Hi
I'm in Leeds some 50 miles further south and managed to get some good pics
of the Noctilucent clouds at around 0350 this morning. If you can guide me
through of how I get these ont to this NG I will post. I had a few years
observing these spectacular clouds whilst I was at Linton on Ouse in the
70's and this t ime of year is always guaranteed to produce some good
displays.

If the low cloud clears, as it has here Tuesday night, then you have another
chance toight.

The 2nd July photo is great John. I have just set it to be my Windows
backdrop.

Where was it taken?
