Noctilucent clouds high in the atmosphere can often be seen during summer nights.

This night was no exception to the couple of previous ones and provided a beautiful veil of noctilucent clouds (NLC). The nearby shore of Särkijärvi lake proviced a good location for observations.

I got an SMS from Kari Nyman hinting that I should be taking my camera out tonight. So I bicycled to the nearest lake shore to witness the lovely NLC display of the night.

This was the year's best display of NLC.

For the first time, I tried to take a series of pictures with my new emergency pocket camera A650. This video is the result of my efforts.

While we were heading back from Tammerfest festival, we witnessed a display of NLC reaching thw whole sky from the northern horizo to the zenith. The display started fading before we reached our camera, but some of the last moments were captured to images. At 1.29

Cygnus 2006 star party 6.8.2006 provided a nice opportunity to practise NLC photography with our new camera.
