About this image

The best display of NLC in a very muted season. After such a late start to the season a good display like this was unexpected so late in July.

Ken, very nice.

I got a series of pics from 21:40 - 22:20 UT. (I'll send you a set).

I texted some observers - only one reply - but I was joined by a passing dog walker who was impressed with the display.

Alex.
