Lovely faint prom captures.

What a teaser!

Superb set of images.

The last one is a very interesting prom capture!

Lovely looking prom!

I have wondered myself about people who have been regulars, then you are suddenly aware they have not visited for ages. I guess astronomy is a new passion for a short time for some people, rather than a "lifetime" interest for others, or just that life changes curtail that interest .

I was keen astronomer during my childhood, right up to discovering pubs and romance and raising a family. 

I have been on here 10 years this December it has gone so quick! 

Some nice detail visible there, despite the best efforts of the UK seeing conditions.

It might just about be visible from my current "Planetary spot" down the garden. 12 degrees is very low though!

 I ended up getting both, very pleased with the performance of them. There is a lot of good info on here.

According to http://www.spaceweather.com/ a possible display noctilucent clouds is predicted for the 2nd/3rd June. Due to spinning nature around the polar region of the current clouds, they are predicting their return to European skies this weekend.

It would be easily my earliest view of the year by over a month!

Excellent images as always Avani, some very nice detail visible there. The polar hex is particularly prominent. 

I saw my 1st ones at around 3am, got up ridiculously early to photograph them before work. I remember feeling very jaded at work later, but still buzzing from the thrill of seeing them!

Hi welcome to SGL from Peter in Bedfordshire 🙂

I only spotted my first NLCs (from 53 deg N), last year, on the night of July 15. To the naked eye they were only a ghostly blur just above the horizon, but the camera showed them in their full glory.

Beautiful Michael, the highlight of the summer months!

 A couple nice early morning captures there, some nice detail visible.

Thank you ever so much. another dozen results and I'll be happy and hopefully one step closer.

It might be worth mentioning it in one of the Solar imaging/Observing sections as well.

Hi Steve, my B600 is green like the left hand image. The serial number is 2014295. Hope this helps.

Hi welcome to SGL from Peter in Bedfordshire 🙂

Fabulous standard as always, congratulations to the winners and everyone that entered.

Easy to mistake before you seen it for the first time, I went a couple of years before I knowingly saw any. Once I had seen those incredible ghostly ripples in the early hours, I don't think I will ever mistake them again.

Hi welcome to SGL form Pete in Bedfordshire

Very nice, Michael I remember that one.
