Images of last nights (14-15/June/2006) Noctilucent clouds!

Hi all, This is my first post! Great images of the NLCs everyone! I am a member of the IAA but I can often be found on the EAAS BB. Here is an animation consisting of 285 frames over a period of 30mins between 12 and 12:30 on the 15th June. Hope you like it! I have included 2 links, the first is the 'lo-def' version and the second is for those with quick (windows) computers

That video is simply marvelous!

Awesome video!

Now, a video of clouds, like those, I don't mind seeing now and again! As long as we don't see cumulonimbus et all! Watching your NLC's drift into the darkness like that is quite nice! It seems this NLC display was prevalent over the whole country - reports from all over the isle for that night June 14th/15th.

Welcome to the boards RJ!

Cheers everyone! Hi Seanie, Sounds like you are exasperated with too many cloud photos, I'll try not post any cumulonimbus!

Love the first shot Dave, looks like a flying pterodactyl to me

Hi and welcome RJ,
Thats is a great animation, looks the business, there is a similarity between mine and your images (at the end of your animation).
Its very interesting that there are distinct differances , I guess its down to the fact that we're both seeing the same NLCs at slightly differing angles.

In terms of geographical location, does anyone know at what altitude they were, or at what lat/long they were at??

Deirdre, It also looks like some sort of dinosaur to me aswell, RJs image looks like a shark at the end of the animation :lol:
