Yeah, we got a good view of this from northern Cumbria last night. The bit
to the north was a bit hard to see as there were things in the way, but
there was a nice display in the western sky as well. My pix aren't as good
as yours, but here's one anyway, looking across the Solway to Scotland.

Thanks for the photo Ally. I missed that display, and was away on the
14th as well. In all my years of staring at the sky, I've never felt
absolutely sure that I'm looking at noctilucent clouds. When I looked
just after midnight this morning, there were orange clouds in the north,
but I presume this was the reflection from Carlisle?

I'm looking forward to the eventual enabling of our exchange to
broadband, then I can do some real weather related research on the web -
so many good pictures to see, but a real pain on dialup.
