Early hours of Friday morning gave a display in the NNE sky. First spotted at 2.30am but pictures came out completely black until these a while later 

Those are the same ones I saw, only my view was not as clear! :wink: :wink:

BRIGHT NOTILUCENT CLOUDS: Last night, another bright display of noctilucent clouds lit up the skies over Europe. The luminous ripples were so bright, "they actually lit up my room a blue colour," reports UK photographer Mark Savage. Click on this photo to set the clouds in motion over his hometown, Gateshead, England:

The displays of 2009 were the best that I have seen in this country. The 18th June 2009 one was amazing

Nice job too ChillyJuju, considering the display we had down south, wasn't half as spectacular as the one over Birmingham! :good:

There was a good display last night, did anyone see it? Not quite as good as July 7th but still impressive. Some photos.

At about 11 last night this appeared. Surprised how fast it was moving as it was gone within 15 minutes

Spotted some just now although very faint. Increased contrast to make them more visible.

I see them every summer at some point. Their season is coming to an end though.

Noticed a NLC glow to the North around 10-11pm, couldn't see any structure to it however not even with averted vision. Might be worth waiting another 2 hours to see if the 3am twilight brings more luck.

Sat in my car at an elevated position looking northwest and they still evade me.

Must try harder next season.
