    The last two years have been a write-off.

    The last two seasons have been relativly poor, although my personal expectations have been supased. 
    I think we may have been spoiled in previous seasons, when we were in a Solar minimum.

    At my age and health it would not be unthikable to venture out in the dark, (thankfully no need to)
    To those who leave their homes in the chance of seeing this phenonimem you have my full respect.

    Although not wanting a full scale volcanic eruption in Iceland, the possibilities of an extended season seems to be growing on a daily scale.

    OSWIN has been shouting again today in the formation zone, so I will be eagerly awaiting the prognosis German forum

    The main problem is thst most of northern europe is clouded out, do apart ftom some faint ones over riga and some possible from a few other eastern european places we cannot confirm.

    Anyway

    The point in trying to make about some of the newer NLC cams that have some really harsh camera settings applied.
    Massive contrast, which creates higher luminosity and super sharp edges and i think a spoonful of saturation

    Perfect for showing off obvious Noctilucent Clouds and Aurora, guaranteed a few Likes

    .... but  they also have the ability to transform normal clouds, at certain stages of the night around the twilight times, into looking very much like NLC`s

    Frustratingly not knowing what to trust.

    I was looking for a display in mid Russia tonight, to see how my full rotation plan was going, however there clouded out

    Not trustworthy in my opinion🙂

    huge displays from russia, baltics, atm...

    Not for me Rob, normal clouds Highly contrasted

    i`ve been watching the moscow cam for most of the evening on and off,...and there has been normal clouds there all the time

    the obvious way to prove would be to scroll back in time... But strangely it can`t be done on any of these camera`s ....not even the youtube one`s

    N twilight has just started  nothing yet

    Good call for this evening Rob.

    I`m also hoping for an evening display as i have an early start tomorrow

    🍻Monday club calls🥳

    Not really confident in the NOAA plots atm( still unsure what time the images taken).....just the cloud count🙂

  5. The full rotation which has given sightings over the UK. 7 times out 8 (the 8th time being clouded out),
    is due again on 9/10 Sun/Mon and again on 10/11 Mon/Tue

     The fluctuation of the mass of NLC`s transiting the pole may have an effect on this ,to what has been a constant full rotation up to now, needs to be taken into consideration.
     As well as giant sunspot AR3363 which is currently taking aim, needs to be watched

    Presently looking like both nights will be clouded out

    On a secondary note it was good to see that the Bbc Weather watchers have finally recognizes our night clouds
