2006, Jul 14/15

It took me till mid of July, to finally have a nice display of noctilucent clouds in 2006. Excellent sky transparancy allowed for observations under nearly ideal conditions. The pictures below were taken with a 8 megapixel Lumix Panasonic FZ30 digital camera, equipped with a 35-420 mm objective, and used at 100 ASA.
