Noctilucent Cloud - 8th July 2009

On the evening of the 7th July there were hints of noctilucent cloud, though it was hard to be sure because of all the other lower cloud

The next morning was clear but dominated by a nearly full moon.

Walking across the damp grass I could see the ghostly glow of the heiligenschein following my shadow. This long exposure brings out some of the glow around the shadow of my head but greatly exaggerates the NLCs.

The Sun was still 12 degrees below the horizon and in spite of the moonlight the clouds were quite obvious.
