Noctilucent clouds from Lincolnshire

About this image

After rain nearly all day the sky cleared and saw noctilucent clouds for only the second time this year. The nc was already fading 15 minutes later when the normal clouds prevented further observations.

Most of the 'stars' are hot pixels. I had not expected to need dark frames for this subject.
