2009 Noctilucent Cloud Season

Hi John, I recall vivdly you saying that, and hadn't forgotten, however the image on SW today was the one which really got my attention, it was the one showing ripples with the Moon in the same frame taken after sunset. The similarity to NLCs is very striking!, in fact they look exactly like IIb bands. There must be impressive amounts of dust in the atmosphere from that volcano, I've never seen such highly structured volcanic sunset images before.
