These Noctilucent Clouds taken last night between 00:30 & 01:30 last night also have a hint of Aurora.
Noctilucent clouds (NLCs), or night-shining clouds, are tenuous cloud-like phenomena in Earth’s upper atmosphere. When viewed from space, they are called polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs), detectable as a diffuse scattering layer of water ice crystals near the summer polar mesopause. They consist of ice crystals and, from the ground, are only visible during astronomical twilight. Noctilucent roughly means “night shining” in Latin. They are most often observed during the summer months from latitudes between ±50° and ±70°. They are too faint to be seen in daylight; they are visible only when the observer and the lower layers of the atmosphere are in Earth’s shadow, but these very high clouds are still in sunlight. Recent studies suggest that increased atmospheric methane emissions produce additional water vapour through chemical reactions once the methane molecules reach the mesosphere – creating or reinforcing existing noctilucent clouds.
They are the highest clouds in Earth’s atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 km (249,000 to 279,000 ft). Wikipedia

Very interesting, Scott; and wonderful that you were able to capture them.
They are easy enough to capture – it is just the fact you only get the chance for about one month a year and it is late in the morning – so sleepy head the following day Carolyn
Great photo ^^;
Cheers Yolanda – very much one to experience if you get the opportunity – rather ethereal – they are only seen at this time of year and the conditions have to be right. I have only seen them perhaps 3 times in the last decade.
