Beautiful! I have not seen any of these myself, yet.
Interesting, thank you Laurence!
Lovely shot. You have captured something rather rare indeed. The Noctilucent cloud is usually some 80kms above the Earth and touching space itself.
Here is some brief but useful info about this rare cloud taken from NASA’s “Astronomy Picture Of the Day” (APOD) website:-

Hope this is of use to others here.

Dat zijn niet echt mijn tijden :)
Thanks!
Hoi Nienke. Ze zijn redelijk zeldzaam op onze breedtegraad. Ze waren vorige week donderdag goed zichtbaar. De grootste kans ze te spotten is in de zomermaanden net na zonsondergang en net voor zonsopgang. Deze foto heb ik rond half vier ‘s ochtends genomen, maar rond half twaalf diezelfde nacht waren ze ook te zien.
(dutch for when this picture was taken)
Schitterend! Ik heb ze nog nooit gezien, hoe laat is dit ongeveer?
