The
NLC display lasted all night here in Northern Ireland. These
images show the amazing structure visible just before dawn.These
bands were so compact that they cast their own shadows on
the sky, I have never seen that before in over forty years
of observing NLC's.Canon 400D 18-55mm lens ISO400/200 various
exposures from 8-3.2 seconds. |

It
was a nice Moon-Pleiades conjunction, and an exceptional
day for me because it was the first time ever I saw some
noctilucent clouds! And this display was very broad as it
extend from North-East to East! I made some panoramas using
a Sigma 70mm stop to f/4.0 on a Canon 30D. No tracking.
3 s at 500 ASA. |

Most
spectacular show I've ever observed of NLCs. On the evening
of July 1st a modest but nice performance, but on the early
morning a eruption of activity that lasted until sunrise.
Even surpassing the zenith, which must be quite rare for
my latitude (+51 North) |

Wow!
I was just packing up for the night when I spotted another
display of NLCs at the edge of the twilight arc to the north-east.
I grabbed my camera and popped down to the beach where a
lovely crescent Moon posed beautifully amongst the clouds.
Then, just when I thought it couldn't get any better - I
spotted the Pleiades in one of my shots. A superb way to
end a night's observing. What a sight! |

After
a night of meteor watching, in which I saw a beautiful sporadic
fireball meteor of magnitude -4, I photographed the noctilucent
clouds seen from my bedroom window. It was a beautiful and
bright display. During the display I had telephone contact
with a friend that was on vacation in Drenthe (100 kilometres
in the north of were I live). He saw the same details in
the clouds as I did. That whereas we were so far away from
each other. |

What
a show! The noctilucent clouds lasted over northern horizon
for the entire night creating glowing patches, ripples and
waves until dawn. I haven't seen them that bright and long
lasting so far. |
