Beautiful NLC display this morning was created by daveg
Hi Folks
There was a beautiful display of NLCs this morning bout 3:45. It was like a spider had wove its web across the sky. Also they seemed to stretch v high up - maybe 50 - 60 degrees has anyone seen them that high before. Note the jpg compressed the detail a bit too much but you get the general idea. Nikon8800 8 sec at f/6.6.

Should I ask where abouts in the image these so-called "NLCs" actually are...
:wink:
I can even see them! Despite the best efforts of jpeg compression.
Are you more likley to see these in the morning or evening btw?
Not sure about the general case but I am much more likely to see them in the evening .... I don't do mornings
However, in the general case you raise an interesting question, anyone have any ideas?

There's no chance in hell I'll be seeing aything at that time of the morning, no way I'd be up.

They were quite striking but they were struggling against the dawn. Heres a better representation.
