Is it just me or does this look like a dragons head, travelling along the horison facing to the left. !!

And this one remind me of the "face on mars", excepts it's in the clouds. :shock:

Not a scientific analysis, what can you do, the only thing clouds are good for is making shapes out of them. :lol:

Dave,

they came out so much better then i would have thought. Shocked

They did come out good didn't they. I also noticed that, although I was not sure that I was looking at NLC's, when I examined my images they were un mistakeable.

Superb Shots Dave, some of the best I have seen yet myself!

That's a great display Dave, lovely colours, at least you had clear skies !

Keith..

great shots dave i would like to be able to take shots likethat but i am only new to astronomy

thanks guys,
Luckily I did have clear skies for once, its been cloudy here all day and it's now breaking up again, might be more tonight? I was genuinely amazed at the shapes of these NLCs, they were very dramatic, unlike the bands from 2004.

Ricky, you dont have to be experianced to get images like that, keep in mind no telescope was used , just an off the shelf DSLR camera, you might surprise yourself with what you can get if you get yourself the right camera.
