Hi all Last night i got my very first display of Noctilucent clouds in 2006! My sister and i were walking in the country before dawn when at 02.45 we spotted a very faint, diffuse white glowing NLC formation very low near the horizon stretching from the N to NE sky through sections of Auriga, Perseus and Pisces. Type 1 brigntness and type 1 Veil like structure. The brightening dawn sky soon washed them out. I got my images up on the UK NLC homepage were i noticed that another observer from England also seen a possible display at night fall. Got 2 images at ISO200/5 sec exposure...

John and Conor i hope you dont mind but i didnt text you last night as i felt it was fairly late at night and the NLC display was so faint and low down that it would be difficult to see unless you had a clear country horizon so it was not worth getting you guys up at this time for such a poor display. If it had of been bright or decent in structure then i would not have hesitated to text you. The bright star to the left is Capella
