Prominent NLC display tonight June 16th/17th

Excellent display of Noctilucent Clouds tonight, spread all across the northern horizon. Very obvious, nice mash of electric ribbons mixed with the twilight glow.Have a look if you can. If this heatwave keeps up and the skies are in our favour each night, this week will be like shooting NLC fish in a barrel!

Photos to follow later (bedtime for me now!).

Yes I saw them too. First time seeing them really well. The sky was very transparent. I watched them up to 1am or so. Looking forward to seeing photos.

Fabulous view here, from shortly after sunset until the dawn washed it out! Zoom in, pan across......

Wow! Where did you take that photo from? I Didnt think they would be so clear from a city location.

Here's a timelapse of the back end of the display before the oncoming dawn washed it out......
