Re: nightclouds = noctilucent cloud

here's the NE horizon at dawn this morning June 18 but no NLC - the cirrus is partially illuminated by the crescent moon off-frame to the right. The moon in the sky at same time can lead to false NLC reports so caution needed



The star centre-left is Capella - a common 'marker' for NLC in summer.
