I haven't payed too much attention to this before because at the time there were many other NLC displays (Jun.26, Jul.07, 13). But now I'm reviewing my photos of June-July, and I decided to post here these 2 photos. It looked a bit like a simple glow during dusk, but I have a suggestion that these were type I NLCs.

June 27, ~22 h. (only 1,5 days after a bright display of Jun.26). NW direction.



June 28, ~22 h. N direction

rised contrast levels


I'm not sure on these and need your confirmation.

It's difficult to say based on the image alone but the glow does look like the typical glow from a weak NLC display, probably a type 1 Veil or the upper portion of a more structured display below the tree line. It's the correct time and place so it probably was. There were wide spread NLC sightings on June 27th all over the world. I would say yes  Smiley

Thanks Martin.  Smiley This "yes" means that I have 4+2 NLC displays this summer.  Smiley Not bad for the first time (I started observing them in mid-June, and Jun.26 was my first). Now I can add them to my NLC page.
