We've been eagerly waiting for the first true NLCs here, so our enthusiasm tricked us Hi, Remember too that scanning the 'NLC' with binoculars is always a good test. As John mentioned, taking a sequence of images can also be very useful. It's good to know that we have an enthusiastic group of observers in Hungary and I hope you all manage to see a bright display soon. Tom

Just my 2 penneth, but to me the fact they were only visible between 22.00-22.20 suggests sunlit tropospherics. Work commitments have meant i've not been able to stay up as late as I would like recently - bedtime generally 23.00 As a result i've not caught any definite NLCs this season - but plenty of sunlit tropospherics and contrails instead... Still, patience is a virtue, so i'm optimistic of catching some when I can finally have some later nights...

Hi Ragnell, For me, from the photographs it's difficult to say whether they are NLC or not. The first (sometimes the only time on our latitude) is always the most difficult. Unfortunately I wasn't able to observe them from Transsylvania, because I am in the Netherlands at the moment (that increases my chances ). Normally I do know that about 5 quarters of an hour after sunset they can become quite visible, with normally the brightest display around 6 quarters after sunset. But that's my experience from the Netherlands. On 46 to 47 degrees latitude all this can be a bit earlier because the sun is descending faster....
