NLCs seen from Offaly

Seanie Morris (Secretary, TAS) reports: "Hi Terry, I thought it might be worth noting that Noctilucent Cloud season is here. On my way home from work between 02:40 and 3:10hrs on 11 June (between Mullingar and Daingean), I spotted Noctilucent Clouds in the predawn southeastern sky. They were faint, but obvious. About 7 thin silvery bands, all parallel to each other, and close together, and the horizon. The waxing orange crescent Moon, rising low down in the east, added to the nice spectacle."
