Tonight was
the night when dreams came true for me as an NLC photographer.
A major display formed during evening twilight then I was
clouded out with showers. Between 01.00 and 02.00 BST the
sky cleared again and when I looked to the NW I saw the
NLC display of a life time. It looked like the end of the
world!. The shadow-casting structures which illuminated
the countryside were absolutely incredible. Large loops,
whirls and pillars with knots could be seen moving rapidly
in real time with the naked eye, these were astounding silver
and blue colours mixed with subtle yellow, gold and green
colours. It was a sight that left me awestruck. These are
4 images out of the 100 or so I took. Best NLC season I
have ever experienced! Fujifilm S6500fd various settings

A very busy night with NLC's visible all night. Mainly in the north west but some NLC's in the north east by early morning. The intensity of the light from these clouds was very high. Electric blue and yellow clouds seen.

Fantastic display, probably the brightest I have ever seen. Wonderful details seen throughout the display and easy to note changes in both brightness and its structure over a period of a few minutes. Looking forward to further displays this season. Panoramic photo is montage of all three individual images. Photo details - Canon EOS 40D, ISO 200 with a 17-44mm f4 lens set at f5 for 2.5 seconds exposure

Yet
another fabulous display of NLCs just after sunset here
in NI. This was almost as bright as last night's display
and was even better in carrying more detail in terms of
waves and ripples. This season is certainly living up to
expectations and proving the link with the solar minimum!
