July 02/03: Very bad interference from "nasty low cloud" but from 0100 - 0130 UT there was obvious NLC, exceptionally bright swirls visible through & between patches of stratocumulus to an altitude of 20 degrees between North by West and North North East (solid cloud to the west of that).

The best display i have ever seen last night started around 23-45 and lasted all through till dawn i packed up at 03-30.

Absolute stunners Jonathan! annoying low cloud here on the northern horizon until around 02:30 when it started to shift. A few images here taken at home over the rooftops with pesky tv aerials on view, but a beauty of a display none the less.

Nice capture - I'd have been tempted to crop out  half the black foreground. Where are you  btw ? No location under your name.

Unexpected mostly clear night with bright NLC in the NNE (stretching from NNW to just E of NE). Substantial low cloud on the horizon but I managed to grab this shot:


Jul 10, 0144 UT. Canon 40D, 17mm, 2.5 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400.

The "bright" cloud stretching across the top of the frame is tropospheric cirrus cloud, probably a smeared contrail.

Nice shot Brian, I kept looking out last night till 3am, however I guess my urban skyscape hid the show behind the rooftops....

It was a stunner Brian, saw it from the coast too, best I've seen since 2009, here's a shot of it over Dunluce Castle...
