Was up on the roof from 2 am to 3 am local time.

When i first saw this NLC it was a wall of light. It went from the horizon to the top of where the stripe is in my image. All with the same intensity as the stripe. But it was gone by the time i got up on the roof with the camera.

Also made 2 quicktimes

1280x720 4.5mb quicktime. 5 seconds between each frame.
There's a bump in the animation i haven't fixed yet.

Superb image and animations! There were other sightings from Denmark last night with photographs showing the same sharp band feature:

That appears to be a pretty strong display for this very early period of the season. If only we had summer weather here in the UK, so we could see the mesosphere!

We can clearly see the dynamism of the structures into the NLC.

That some stunning timelapses, especially the zoomed version. We can learn something about the way the structures are moving into the NLC.
