Hawksmoor Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Very interesting and unusual high level cloud formations to the north west of our house in Loweswtoft on the 30th June 2022 - 30 minutes after local sunset. I would welcome your views as to whether these are NLCs or not as I was considering entering them in the SGL NLC competition. Either way they were spectacular to see. Each were individual handheld photos taken from a bedroom window using a Canon 600d DSLR with the Standard 18-55 Canon EFS lens . A bit of cropping and a little processing using Affinity Photo software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craney Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Normally appear around local mid-night give or take an hour. So look to your Northern horizon between 12:00am and 02:00am. Any lower clouds appear much darker if not black in contrast to NLC's beautiful electric blue. NLC's also have that spiny filamentary structure. This is a picture I took in North Yorkshire in July 2020 at 03:15am with dawn rapidly approaching. Itwas a good display that persisted. It has some high Cirro-Cumulus in it like your picture and they are starting to catch the dawns rays, but the NLCs literally shone through even against a brightening sky. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
