Jupiter

Last night I made some pictures of Jupiter. Unfortunately the seeing was bad. Again I used my setup with ADC and Barlow x2 on TAL200K. Pictures were taken with ASI224MC and capturing software SharpCap. Pictures are stacked using AutoStakker!2 and final editing with CS4.
The Great Red Spot (GRS) is seen at the side of the planet.

Noctilucent clouds this morning

This morning around UT2h50, some faint NLC's above the north-eastern horizon. Pictures taken with Nikon D7500 on tripod; setting 12mm f/3.5 ISO1250 2s/3s.

Noctilucent Clouds Outbreak

During the night of June 21, an outbreak of noctilucent clouds could be observed. This was my third time I coudl obserse NLC's. Both of those observations were done a couple of years ago. However this year I believe I saw some but was not sure as they were very faint. Yesterday, it was very clear that I saw NLC's. They were very bright and NLC's even came as far as the zenith.

I made different pictures and made some timelapses. One hour later most NLC were gone and I moved to another location with a better view on the horizon. The second picture was taken from this location, one hour later. As you see, the NLC's are only above the horizon and the outbreak was done.
