Click on image for larger view Noctilucent clouds put on a great show last night (July 12th). This was the view from my drive at around 10.30 BST, looking north-west.
I grabbed a series of shots through a Sony Cybershot on auto (camera on a tripod this time) and put two frames together in a mosaic to give the above panorama.
Through 10x50 binoculars, I was surprised at just how dynamic the tiny ripples and pulsations within the cloud filaments were. Movements could be seen quite easily. The display lasted until the early hours of the morning.
