NLC June 9-10

[epoksids]

Hello!

I just want to say that I am seeing an NLC right now
Here you can see the view.
My coordinates are approx. 57N 24E
Local time of starting observation 0:15 - 0:40 (21:15 UT) (now some dark clouds are blocking the view)

I must say that brightness of this NLC was something between 2 and 3.
Azi was 320-010 So actually the most part of it was located at NW.
Elevation (don't know - lost my "instrument" but might have been approx. 15 )

Fantastic - best so far this year!

Very nice!

It's clear for me here too, but as of yet no nlc's. Gonna keep looking for a lil' while longer yet tho

I think I can see some too (tho hard to tell) in Liverpool. I'm certainly not an expert lol but there's some very bright white/bluish cloud stretching to directly over my house (don't know how to measure degree's above the horizon etc).

Gonna keep watching and see if they fade as it gets darker or whether they get brighter.
I really hope they're NLC as I've only really seen them properly once, 2 summers ago.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone else reports any

I've got a similar view to you tonight Jo. I can see (tho they're fading now) whitish cloud stretching in an east / west direction, travelling north to south. I think it's moonlit cirrus tho - looking at the current met-office infra red satellite view it tallies in with some durge toppling down over England. I've been taking pics throughout if needed...

Gonna keep my eye on the sky just a bit longer tho...

Good work, epoksids!
From observations from the east, a lot of us could benefit!
I hope for you that there are observers farther east, so you can benefit from others' observations too!
