2007 June 13 02:20. This is the brightest display of noctilucents I have seen from Edgware, Middlesex. The evidence from my observations over the last 3 years is that they are getting brighter and higher (in degrees of altitude) each year as seen from here. This display occupied 45 degreess of azimuth centred on NNE, and extended 10 to 35 degrees above the horizon. The brightest portion was the sharply-defined band seen in the centre (below), which was 30 degrees high. These NLCs were not rippled, as seen in previous years, but broad bands (type B). They were visible from about 02:00 to 0:3:30UT. Canon EOS 350D camera 800 ISO,  0.8s, 33mm FL
