NLC ALERT 3rd July

Its kicking off big style up here in the North so watch your horizon tonight.

Will do Kieran, hopefully there will be some nice images????

Keith..

Here with John Flannery at the mo in Monasterevin. We reckon it's too early at this time to see NLCs. However, what is visible are wave-like cloud bands in the upper atmosphere caused by the volcano in Russia. Well worth a look. See spaceweather.com for more info.

Have to agree Michael. Structure in it was a beaut and very similar to that seen in NLC's. Wish I'd taken some images.

Took a couple of snaps earlier.
Here's one:

It sure did look like nlc's but was a volcanic sunset the first one i have seen and imaged here is one of the images i took.
