Noctilucent clouds gave us a treat on a beautiful summer morning in Bozeman, Montana (45.65N, 111.007W). The display started just above the horizon in the NNW and expanded eastward and upward until noctilucent clouds were visible all the way to the zenith. Photo details: Nikon D300 camera, 400 ISO, focal lengths from 10 to 35 mm, exposures in the range of 1/10 - 1 s.
