About this image
I observed the extensive NLC display here at Tarbatness last night. It was a huge display with nlc seen from the north through easty and west as well as being visible past the zenith.It was first seen at dusk before local midnight and was still continuing at dawn. There were numerous strands billows and ladders seen and the display was ever changing. A major display, the first one seen this season here. A single hand held image is attached taken at 01:10 UT
Correction image annotation should be 2018 June 19 not 18
