Hi,

observation from Northern Germany in the morning hours.
A lot of cirrus + contrails in front but nevertheless a great result on such a late date here.


My own result:

And another nice image, taken approx. 100 km west of me:

Hi Olaf,
That's a great result.

I've been looking too when I've been out observing the Perseid meteor shower but still nothing here. NLC's can still be seen until the end of August so it's at least worth keeping a look out just in case!

Bill.

Yes Bill, it is worth observing as much as possible.

Interesting to see was the natural weaken of the PMSE data the last weeks.
But here and than the PMSE woke up a little bit.
So again on August 11th above ALOMAR + ESRANGE.
Ok, that is far away from me. But a little sign to check the sky it is I think, especially in these late season days.

There was a late LIDAR detection above ALOMAR from 14th to 15th. See other topic.

Regards, Olaf
