Die NLC-Saison geht so langsam zu Ende...Hier die Aufnahmen der Letzen 2 Monate.
The NLC season is coming to an end ... Here are the shots of the last 2 months.
Noctilucent Cloud Time-lapse footage from the early hours of 1st July 2017. My first attempt at producing a time-lapse from the stills I took on the night - not perfect and a bit jerky because I was moving the camera angle and focal length. Next time I plan to use a separate camera for the time-lapse - thanks for watching.
The noctulescent cloud, also known as the mesospheric polar cloud, luminous nocturnal cloud or noctilucic cloud, is a rare and mysterious cloud phenomenon that forms in the cold environment of the mesosphere, at altitudes of 75,000 to 90,000 meters. These are the highest clouds ever observed.
Noctulescent clouds form in the particularly cold environment of the mesosphere, where temperatures can reach -120°C. They are composed of very fine meteorite dust, sometimes even volcanic dust, encased in ice. This composition gives them a filamentous, thin and elongated appearance.
Noctulescent clouds are considered one of the rarest and most mysterious meteorological phenomena on Earth. They are difficult to observe because they form at high altitudes and require a specific combination of meteorological and geographical conditions.
Noctulescent clouds are considered an extraordinary and beautiful meteorological phenomenon, offering a unique experience for observers. They are often associated with exceptional astronomical and meteorological phenomena, such as the aurora borealis and solar eclipses.

The aurora photo-bombed my NLC display! 😀
Image captured from Cypress County in SE Alberta on 2022-06-26. I used a fully modified Canon EOSR with a visible light plus hydrogen alpha filter. The modified camera improves colour and contrast detail in the aurora. Modifications performed by Spencer's Camera & Photo.
Undulating wave patterns: fantastic display of noctilucent clouds, all blue-silver and shimmering with wave/ripple disturbance patterns.
NLC's over Fife Scotland.
Nearing solar maximum and NLC's are quite subdued. these were low down and had some nice structure, but quite weak.
[CZ] Svítící mraky - je úkaz v horní části atmosféry (80-85km) viditelný při soumraku či rozbřesku. Je tvořen krystalky zmrzlé vody. Většinou jej lze pozorovat v letních měsících v zeměpisné šířce mezi 50° a 70° severně či jižně od rovníku.
[EN] Shining clouds - a phenomenon in the upper part of the atmosphere (80-85km) is visible at dusk or dawn. It consists of crystals of frozen water. It can usually be observed in the summer months at a latitude between 50° and 70° north or south of the equator.
This time of the year (mid june-mid july is the prime time for watching Noctilucent Clouds (NLC: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucent_cloud).
I was working on my new bike and just gooing back to my house and by chance looked up to the sky only to see this glorious NLC display. I've not seen NLC's too often in my life but today way definately way above average! When I took the photo they seemed to disappear already again and also lower clouds (well *every* other cloud is in an lower altitude than NLCs) were moving in.
Sorry for the crappy uban foreground I just had to pick a spot near a small field in walking distance from home.
Last one from a batch of pics taken at Loch Calder during a noctilucent cloud display on the night of 6/7 July 2014
Around 11 pm last night, I received an unexpected message from my best friend Marin asking if I would go with him to photograph comet NEOWISE in Nin ... I say of course !!
When we arrived at the site around 3:30 in the morning, we had the most spectacular view ever, a rare meteorological occurrence of NLC and comet NEOWISE! WoooW! : O <3
First time capturing these beautiful noctilucent clouds and this pic sums up my entire evening of feeling incredibly happy, full of joy and ready to take on the world!! :)
Thanks to Tim Ford's excellent tutorial, I was able to create this movie in Photoshop CC.

The 'still' version is here:
A brief display this evening - but an awesome one especially just as I arrived at my favoured viewing location, with the clouds extending a good 60º up toward the zenith.
Taken during a stunning display which was visible from Oxfordshire from around 2am on the morning of 6th July. Noctilucent clouds spanned over 100 degrees along the horizon, and reached a height of around 10 degrees. It was easily the biggest display I've ever seen!

NLC are the highest known clouds; equaling the height of lower level northern lights. The NLC are rarely seen at latitude 41N (Cheyenne, Wyoming) near the time of the summer solstice. However in 2021 a pre-dawn display was captured from the northeast to northwest.
I re-processed my still images for truer color and contrast and created a short segments of this event.
