Noctilucent Clouds 14/07/06

This was snapped while observing Jupiter on July 14th 2006. The NLC's took a while to develop and there was some debate among those present as to whether it was really a NLC display or not. It was later confirmed when Ken Kennedy gave a talk to the Society about NLCs and reported a very impressive display all over Europe on... July 14th 2006! Vindication! Taken with Pentax K1000 SLR with 50mm lens, exposure time 5 seconds or thereabouts. Pauline
