Noctilucent Cloud Season 2023

[Summer of 95]

Visible here now! Not the brightest ones I've ever seen but quite a few of them. First this year

[Zak M]

Really nice display ongoing currently

[Metwatch]

Had to take the opportunity to timelapse these. About 25 minutes worth of footage into 5 seconds. 

[Arnie Pie]

Another brilliant display on a Solstice morning

No excuses for the length. music track or editing of this time lapse

I stayed out until 1am ish, went home for a cup of tea and a sit down, next thing I know it's 8am and I've missed it. 

[Jamie M]

Thought I was being clever putting camera on timelapse so I could sleep easy although it was stuck on AF mode so didn't start shooting till about 4 am 

 

[Arnie Pie]

A moderate but spectacular display this morning visible with the knackered eye

Between 02.30  and fading away around 03.30, as soon as  the rays from the Nautical twilight, firstly lit them up then melting them away before Civil twilight began

A few images from this morning

 

[Jamie M]

Will never thank myself more for installing this camera two years ago 

[mushymanrob]

I cant match up this mornings display with oswin. 

[mushymanrob]

peeing down here...

Looking like normal clouds now .. unfortunately 

[Arnie Pie]

End of the twilights so coming into Night

Lets see if anything can grow before the next twilight rays come though 

Enough gaps in the cloud for Cappella to make an appearance

Not spotted anything, 2.45am and too much cloud hindering, a few small gaps.

Fully clouded over by 01.00 but stuck around and kept an eye out on the webcams - no avail to my old eyes

 So far, there only been a couple of reports for a quick faint and very low display  around 02.00  from Germany

One of them being from the Flensburg cam

To which I've checked by scrolling back on the live cam  .. which looks valid

I checked this morning but saw nothing, re-checking again, yes there are a very brief, faint ones about 2am,..

[mushymanrob]

Odd.. i cant load either of the two satelite sites i use on two devices or on chrome...

[Arnie Pie]

We``ll were half way through the season .. and with Solstice night so close to having a negative sightings record for it`s not going to be memorial to many

Looks cloudy for most, and 5 nights ago there were no sighting for the UK ( probably due to cloud cover ) ...but it is mid June

Good luck to all for the remains of the season

Aye definitely - the massive display in Russia yesterday does make me think we've definitely got sumet better to come soon! 

[Arnie Pie]

Not sure there was a NLC display in Russia  just that the camera applied ultra high contrast to the live image which soon became obvious in the frames after.

Its certainly a trend on most of the cams on starvisor

Unless there is footage from another source from Russia from another cam that i haven't seen

Tbh.. so what anyway.. what russia gets has no bearing on what we do.

Certainly something at least! Shame there's been nothing strong here

Only recall one evening display last year so my hopes of one are very small this year
