SGL 2022 Challenge 5 - Noctilucent Cloud

[MartinB]

It is always a challenge just to be able to spot when this ethereal cloud is brewing.  The additional difficulty is to be in the right place to enable a striking image.  I suspect our challenge winners didn't simply happen to be in the right place at the right time but put in some  planning to achieve some superb results.

An intriguing foreground object draws you into the image to showcase and great display of NLC

Thank you to everyone who entered.  There are more superb images in the challenge thread

Well done to everyone who managed to capture these wonderful clouds, not easy this year in my opinion despite the reports of plenty of activity. 1st year in ages that i have not managed one single decent view .
