High cirrus clouds in the twilight mimicking real noctilucent clouds on June 22, 2019 over Crawling Lake Reservoir. Cassiopeis is right of centre. Real NLCs did not appear this night. With the Nikon D750 and Sigma 14mm lens.
A selfie of me observing with binoculars in the sosltice twilight at Crawling Lake, June 22, 2019. Cassiopeia is at right. I was hoping for views and photos of NLCs this night but they did not appear. Lots of high cirrus clouds as NLC imposters, however!
A panorama of the solstice twilight and twilit clouds at Crawling Lake Reservoir, Alberta, on June 22, 2019. I was on site to capture noctilucent clouds which did not materialize this night. However, high clouds in the twilight mimicked NLCs – I shot this to record those “fake” NLCs. But these clouds moved quickly from NW to SE like nornal weather clouds. Jupiter is bright at left to the southeast. Vega and Altair are in the darkest part of the sky at left of centre. My RAV4 poses at left. Stitched with ACR.
