I saw NLC's
from Colorado in 1999. After a decade, they're back! The
clouds were visible in the NNW to a max elevation of 15
degrees, about the same as the clouds in 1999. Photos taken
with Sony Cyber Shot, ISO 80, f/5.2, 20 second exposure.
Lens set at full tele-zoom (3x), f.l. = 18 mm. Times of
the photos are 9:28 and 9::32 pm MDT. I didn't have time
to set up the fancier camera. |

I was sitting in my room testing my camera equipment when I saw something bright at the sky through the window, noctilucent clouds. I packed my camera equipment and my flashlight. A couple of minutes later I stared taking images. Equipment: Canon EOS 40D, Sigma EX 10-20/4-5,6 HSM. 8 images taken then combined. Full res: 8600x3789.

Gorgeous morning display of noctilucent clouds - much better than what we saw just a few hours before at sunset. Not many things are worth getting out of bed at 4:00 am for, but THIS was! Nikon D300, 28 mm lens at f/2 & f/2.8, ISO400, 1/4 s.

Noctilucent clouds seen from Seattle, WA on July 15, 2009. Only the third time I've seen NLCs in my 46 years here. I was able to eyeball these clouds all the way to the zenith at lat 47°37'N
Very pretty!

The first time I have ever seen and photographed Noctilucent Clouds thanks to the SpaceWeather.com alert. I was surprised that they were only visible for 10 or 15 minutes. Bright blue and easy to differentiate from the normal cirrus clouds below. The image is looking west towards the Olympic Mountains from Silverdale WA. Nikon D90 24mm lens f/4 3 sec ASA 800 Dale Ireland

This was the
first time I had seen these clouds. Really quite dark but
very obvious. It was as if I was standing underwater and
looking up at the surface. Used a Sony DSC-85S on auto and
it took an 8sec exp at F/5, 100ASA. Levels adjusted in PS.
Taken at 22.47 BST, sunset 21.18 BST. |

At about 10:05 P.M. PDT, I found this display of noctilucent clouds in the northwest from the Portland, Oregon metro area. The photograph was taken from the roof of my house. I climbed part way up my amateur radio tower and got on the roof. I set my tripod on the peak of the roof to get this shot. I used a Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon EF 17-40mm, f/4L lens at about 28mm, 800 ISO for 1.5 sec.
