I watched the first half of the show from North Wales. The display covered the northern half of the sky when revealed by fading twilight around 10:30, retreating to a bright strip with a fairly sharp edge a few degrees above the northern horizon shortly after midnight. It was the best I've seen from here.

Hi Stu,
Ow yeah!!! Very nice pics . You caught a very strong NLC display. I don't know if I've said this before but I'm in Rotterdam since 5 months as an exchange student (Erasmus). And the latitude is very favorable to catch NLC displays. The very first I'v took, in the early morning of the 3rd of June : The second time, early morning too : The third time, morning of the 13th June: But the fourth time was the best for now. In the late evening of the 16th this time A very strong display, and I was amazed by the surface they took in the sky, very close to zenith And a bit of lightpainting And more here Hope you will enjoy it . -------------------- |

All's well here Rui, just busy with new book project and work... odd shifts in a care home, and coming home often means just flopping onto sofa - after a good shower - and vegging. Lots of catch-up blogging to do this weekend.

Anyone else see them this evening, the most impressive display i've seen so far, noticed them when I went out to see the ISS flyby. Will post some pics later.

Not the greatest image in the world; my fault, not nature's.
Memo to self: read the manual about the manual-settings mode for camera. Buy cheap tripod. Possibly try learning how to use them? -------------------- --
