AIM updated to the 30th and does it look quite tasty over the next few days as quite a few hanging down bits around the 11am to 1pm area.

Arnie your thoughts ?

A tasty latest AIM 30-06-2020...Theres a bulk of clouds all of the way back around from 1 o`clock back to 8 o`clock 'days out' position...ie last night, tonight and tomorrow night

If they hold together in that position..which is down and past the 65° latitude... then i would be expecting a low-medium altitude display above the horizon.....Around 0-15°... which is around the altitude of Capella throuhout the night/ morning

But as Rob stated...I dont think we will be lucky with the lower weather

@mushymanrob ...this Aim image shows our lucky display really well...A bulk of cloud down to just below the 60° latitude to the NW.....which showed up as an early doors, bright display at 20-25° altitude (high)

Looked out about 2:15am, there seemed to be a small chink of brightness sandwiched between thick cloud and the horizon, this was in a more NE direction.  Just thick cloud in the N.  Given the time, it was too early to mistake it for sunrise. Did anyone else see anything?

No me... didnt bother , too much cloud and tonight will likely be too cloudy too. So i took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep... boy i needed that!..
Tomorrow night may be clearer, Monday is looking good, but tuesdays looking cloudy again, as is wednesday ..

Well looking at the last AIM makes me think of what we missed on wed...almost as low a latitude over the UK that we`ve ever seen....Last season there was a small cloud over Norfolk ..which eventually migrated over to the Midlands

Frustrating i know...i noticed the bright eary glow behind the Northern clouds at around that time  but didn`t take to much notice cause there were no stars visible

It would have been looking good for tonight....but

But........yes, mother natures going to draw the curtains on any viewing again.  I can't believe how time is flying for NLCs this season, soon be August. Didn't mean to sound dismissive of the rest of the season.  At least there are some great pictures to look back on.

Seeing some on the horizon here, the same ones you guys are seeing I guess!  Always a beautiful thing to see these clouds.

Not sure they’re as clear in these but here’s a couple of less obstructed pictures
