7 sightings over the last week... some better than others, but each observation offering something slightly different. Caught the crescent moon as well, so thrown these in here.
Have loads of data to enjoy processing over the next few weeks, but here are a few that I've sorted so far (in edition to my two recent posts).
Will add to this thread as I sort...

Shot through tree branches to add a frame and some atmosphere over a straight shot.
NLCs 24th June 2020 11.52pm D3 + 24-70 6sec f/2.8 24mm ISO200
Had hoped to get a shot of the moon embedded in the NLCs, but not to be...
Plough, Pole Star and NLCs 25th June 2020 11.11pm D3 + 24-70 5sec f/2.8 24mm ISO200
A lovely subtle display, camera virtually pointing straight up. Not quite in focus. Reminded me of a Coronal Northern Lights display...

This mornings display was far more subtle than the previous day, but actually made for a nice shot. Very high up and in a lovely fan shape which I’ve not seen before and my NLC sightings are now into double figures.
Composed at a jaunty angle to anchor the image with the tree and provide some scale, dodge the street lights and capture the brightest segment. They must have extended right up towards the zenith...
Nikon D3 FX (full frame), Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, tripod mounted, cable release and mirror lock function.
Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
Taken from north Lichfield (Staffordshire).
Single shot. D3 - ISO 200, 0.6 sec, f/2.8, 24mm, 3.33am
Got a few more (all basically the same to check through) and need to work out the stars/constellation (Cassiopeia), above right at some stage.... off now to do some more NLC hunting!
