SGL 2021 Challenge 4 - Noctilucent Cloud

[MartinB]

There were a couple of excellent NLC displays this season punctuated by spells of cloudy weather, it was a case of grabbing the opportunities as they arose we have been treated to some stunning entries.  If you haven't browsed all the entries it is well worth having a look here - https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/376717-sgl-challenge-4-noctilucent-clouds/  As you will see, picking the winning 3 was not easy and we could have happily chosen an entirely different group of winners.

Congratulations winners! Those were magnificent entries. Well deserved.

I agree, @MartinB; that must have been a tough choice selecting the winners. There are many wonderful entries.
