Another picture of the NLC storm on July 5th, 2020. Very bright and dynamic NLC with bands, whirls, waves,.....  a beautiful sky show :)



Noctilucent Clouds July 5, 2020




Around 23h local time (UT21h) the sky was filled with noctilucent clouds (NLC). At some point the clouds were seen 40° above the horizon. 
This cloud group was seen in Poland, north of the UK, Belgium (Antwerp, Gent, Mechelen) and even in Hungary (Budapest).

I was able to make a lot of pictures and saw the structure changing over time.

Photoshop Tutorial DIY Filmstrip

The making of a 35mm Filmstrip was done using the website link. I'm using CS4 and a filmstrip is not part of the toolbox. 
This how the template looks like. Have fun!

Venus - Mercury Traject May 18-23 Film Strip

My Helios collegue Guido inspired me to represent my pictures of the 5 day Venus-Mercury traject. During those 5 days Mercury was "moving up" towards  Venus and eventualy passing it by. 
Guido presented my pictures using an old fashioned film strip. I liked this so much that I took time to make my own film strip template  in CS4.
