Well done and quite meaningful images, yours. Grant, the picture portrays the coloured areas very well, very evident the pinkish VB. The image taken by Nik portrays well the shadow that a mountain casts on the atmosphere and blends in with the Blue Belt. In both images the sky is cloudy below but very clear above. This is an interesting feature, but very rare in my observing locations. Many thanks to you.
