Noctilucent Clouds June 23rd 2021 Suffolk

[scotty1]

Cycled three miles out of town to take a few shots of the moon and trees, stayed untill 11pm Incase Noctilucent clouds were around. There were a couple more old dead trees here before, the farmer has taken them down recently, leaving this one. It's a shame when such great photogenic features are pulled down! 

Here is  a few handheld snaps with my pixel 4a in night-shot mode, obviously you have to keep very still.

These were about eight second exposures. The pics were edited as jpgs slightly on the phone, only basic saturation, shadows. I have the RAW versions to maybe edit at some point. The phone sets the exposure automatically. The moon was behind me while looking NNE at the NLCs.

Superb shots with a phone! That evening was a particularly good NLC night!

Thanks Paul 

Yes that night there were alot of NLC sightings. I had my DSLR on a small tripod taking shots too.

As it was so near the solstice, I remember the NNE horizon never got completely dark as I biked home just after midnight
