Noctilucent clouds movie

[Takashi]

I live in an apartment in the city center of Stockholm so I usually don't do any astronomy from my apartment, but now I finally got a chance to do so. When the noctilucent clouds started, I was not at home being with my friends. When I saw the show I had to say goodbye to everybody and run home.

The movie consists of 656 pictures, taken 10 seconds between each other. Taken between 2014-07-11 22:40 and 2014-07-12 00:31 UTC.

Thank you all for the comments! I've seen noctilucent clouds a couple of times earlier, but nothing like this before! I hope I'll get another night like this before the summer is over...
