NLCs, Moon and Venus (July 21, 2017) HDR.jpg

A grand display of noctilucent clouds at dawn on July 21, 2017, looking northeast and east with the 26-day-old thin waning crescent Moon just rising, and Venus bright as a “morning star” at right. This was the best NLC display of the summer to date, though many nights were plagued with cloud to the north or forest fire smoke. But seeing NLCs as high as this in the sky and well to the east, as at right is rare.

This is a 7-exposure HDR blend with ACR with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D.
