Description

The first clear night for ages, and what a treat - excellent seeing and transparency.

I took this image of Comet Neowise gracing the pre-dawn sky, like a diver arcing into a pool of noctilucent clouds - a real bonus. We have been eagerly awaiting another spectacular comet, and this is it - easily visible in binoculars, and naked eye, if rather small. Nevertheless, it has a lovely tail as it races away from the sun and it will be interesting to follow as it approaches earth.

I've been enjoying others' images of NLCs, and this is my first good, if fleeting view of these ethereal atmospheric phenomena. A perfect end to an awe inspiring night.
