Great display of NLC tonight 07/14-15. PIC
I had NLC over the hole sky tonight. Very nice display.

Hi,
Nice NLC picture, thanks!
As i was bicycling home from the cottage between 21 and 22UT last night, i noticed too that there seemed be quite a lot of NLCs. Especially in the west they seemed to be most sharp and strong, but northern sky still seemed to be little too bright for them shine there.
At what time did you observe them and when were they at their best? I skipped looking any more of them last night, due the fact that the night would have got brighter soon and since they were not enough bright when i saw them. Anyway, it looked like an display that would have been rather great, if it had happened just 1 week later or so.
BTW. How has the "summer" been there in Sweden. Here on the other side of the pond the summer has been practically.....a bright mid Autumn. It has probably never rained this much. The temps have not got up to 25 since the first week of May. Lake water is still maybe colder than it was on the first week of May...has been in the range of 10-15 C whole "summer". In the 1800's this would have probably been a famine year.
Oh well, today is bright and sunny. Maybe nice NLCs and else in the evening.

Hi Tom.
Thanks for your appreciation.
I observed the NLC for 1 hour and 45 minutes. They were best around 1 a clock local time when the sun was at its lowest point below the horizon. It was rather cold here in Sweden ( 3.5°C) so I went home after 2 hours in the cold. (I wasn't dressed for that weather). I shot some pictures with my analog camera with a 20 mm lens and Fuji Velvia 50 ASA, I hope those images will turn out well to do justice to this great NLC display.
The summer here in Sweden hasn't been good so far, much rain and very cold for the season. In the south of Sweden there are problems with to much water in the rivers and some villages have been affected by flooding. Many houses ruined by the water.
