Hi,

Great images there. Here at Alness, N Scotland I had much sea fog. It eventually cleared for a while to leave a very messy sky. Had the camera running in movie mode slow frame rate. How much of this is NLC or twilight/cirrus is uncertain but a band appears in the middle of the frame around the 40 second mark. Soon masked by yet more low cloud. HD playback for best view.

Hi Jim,

obviously, you had to deal with difficult conditions - but succesfully .

Here's a time lapse from last night's NLC (21:38 UTC till 22:19 UTC), including 50 individual frames. I had to play with the camera settings (ISO and exposure time) during imaging, which explains the changes in brightness:

Hi Mathias,

Nice timelapse. Great location with dark skies and a fine horizon.

Jimmy.
