Another great night and finally bagged my first sighting of NLCs. To prove it I have pics ;D It was a stunning display. More bright and intense that I was expecting this early in the NLC season. It extended as far out west as Capella and almost as far East to kiss Deneb. Enjoy

Excellent images Simon.
I saw them from up here, but not as well as you did.

Stunning shots and the colours your camera can pull out is fabulous. I have to colour balance my images in photoshop as all my shots come out very grey an dull. I just try to match the sky colour to what I actually saw and sharpen things up a bit.

I was out again tonight on another NLC hunt. It was rather disappointing. No naked eye display but the camera was picking up faint slithers of activity very close to the NNE to NE horizon. It was a magnificently beautiful evening though and loved being out. Best shot of the NLCs is below and I've added a second pic highlighting the display. I also managed to grab a few shots of the ISS passing, which are below. Hopefully the next few nights will give a good display.

Saw them myself for the first time at around 01.30 from the Lisburn direction, very nice indeed. Great photo's Simon.

Excellent Jonathan, very atmospheric, especially the first image.

Really nice indeed! Well done. Just my personal opinion but I'd have went for a lower ISO and a longer exposure, thus the causeway stones would have looked sharper.
