Caught this display forming nicely before retiring at 2315 UT - sorry i just had to go to bed! Castor and Pollux visible to the lower left and a nice piece of herringbone structure developing bottom centre.  Clear skies, Paul. |

Very nice structure Paul. I take it that's Castor and Pollux? Visible from 22.23 - 03.30 BST 22* high and extending from W - NW 120* in azimuth. Type 3 brightness and consisting of type I Veil, IIa bands with soft edges and IIIab waves - classic ripples on a beach structure. Nice orange, gold, green, white and blue colours present. Display subdued by murky sky but having said that it was a nice display but nothing compared to the previous night which spoilt me! In the NW evening sky planet Venus was covered by faint cream coloured NLC bands which was a nice sight. Extensive in western sky before dawn and still visible when I ended the observing run. tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4tz0euo tinypic.com/view.php?pic=68k21qr tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5zf49r4 tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6gkfa5c Venus & NLC. Note the half phase of Venus (more distinct in high res). tinypic.com/view.php?pic=522k6iv |
