NLC 2010 07 15/16

This was a remarkably bright and eerie NLC display, enhanced by brooding dark tropospheric clouds above and the roar of the incoming tide. Attached image taken from Lossiemouth at 00:30 UT this morning.

You did well to catch such a lovely shot.. the weather in Scotland for NLC photography has been absolutely pants over the last few weeks. Well Done!

Very beautiful pic, Alan! Scotland must be the land of NLCs, I think, this year you had lots of nice displays! :-) Is there any tourist agency to organize holidays for NLC watchers? :-))

Fantastic display you got there !! Yes, Scotland is the land of NLC, but the whole northern Europe is, no ?

I'm in vacation at Rotterdam, a city that I've know because I spent 6 month here as an exchange student, and I've seen a lot of NLC. This is one of the good reason to get back in this city of Holland.

And I've seen some NLC this night, after sunset, and before sunrise : a première for me !

At 23h16 :


Later, and with 18 mm


But the best was in the morning.

Hope that it's not a problem to post here, because I think this is the same display, and this avoid a double post of the same date.

In the last frames of the movie the green LIDAR laser beam from the IAP site is visible, about 15 miles away.

Best regards, wolfgang

Fantastic shots all of you! I've been having much less luck, only seen a couple of displays so far this season...
