Nothing that good in Dublin. Though I see Terry has just sent out a mail saying it still oging on.
01:06
Hi all,
There's a beautiful display of Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs) at the moment. Look low down in the North, just below Capella, for these iridescent wispy silvery 'night-shining' clouds.
Clear skies,

Mark.
Anybody who says that Earthshine is reflected Sunshine is talking Moonshine.

If they really are at as high an altitude as they say they are then those "low" clouds would be at a latitude well above the Arctic Circle,basking in full sunlight.

Awesome shots is right Paul. I was out and about between 02:25 and 02:45 hours, and even though I had quite a clear large patch to the horizon at that time, NLC activity was a bare minimum. You guys up north seem to have got the better display by far.
