2006 July 14 PM: Following our Ewell AS meeting, a marvellous display this evening from Worcester Park along whole NNW to NE horizon. It began early at 1015BST high in north at 35 degrees altitude and decending over 45 minutes.










2006 July 12 PM: Weak display from Mottistone Downs - IOW during a public Nation Trust "See the stars" meeting that included glow-worm - for me a first! The public were wholly unimpressed by NLC!



2006 July 8 AM: Good display this morning along whole NNW to NE horizon and first since June 23 despite regular even + morn vigils.

2006 June 23 AM: even brighter display this morning with different structure than yesterday morn but confined to N - NNE horizon.

2006 June 22 AM : fine display all along the northern horizon over London from NNW - NE.  Enlargement of NE section with whirls type IV.


 
 

2006 June 21 PM: 1st observation of year from Observatory Deck during the Users Group meeting at Nonsuch HS for Girls - Cheam - Surrey with about eight other members.  First spotted by our host David Fishwick - maths master at the school....but no camera to hand.

2005 July 30- after a 5 week break with no positive sightings a good NLC before dawn in NE. After the quick photo-shoot I returned to bed and watched from the pillow the NLC move very slowly NW at 90o to the normal and much lower tropospheric cloud.
