Last Night's Noctilucent Clouds... was created by Keith g
Hi all, I was just about to go to bed last night just after midnight, and hey presto! these popped out in the quiet of the night B) Really staggering silver-blue electric clouds, did anybody else see them?

What a beautiful shot, Keith. I must keep an eye out for the clouds during the summer.

Great shots Keith,

I saw them last night but convinced myself it was just normal cloud.

I must take a photo next time.

I went outside becasue the first quarter Moon was so red near the horizon. Then when I looked around the sky, I then saw the Noctilucent Clouds. Very impressive! I saw them in the North East from North Roscommon at 12.30pm. At first I thought they might be high cirrus clouds. However, cirrus would have been more yellow, but this structure was so filamentary and silvery, I realised they were Noctilucent Clouds.
