Description

NLC stands for Nocti-Lucent Clouds. While strictly an atmospheric phenomenon they occur in the highest reaches of the atmosphere, just before actual outer space begins. And they are most recurrent at higher latitudes and in the hearth of summer. This specific shot was taken in the summer of 2007 sometime after midnight with a Nikkor 200mm lens at f/4 and my trusty D50.

The pictures shows also stars so I'm kind of safe in posting this on Astrobin
