On camera: Noctilucent clouds and aurora over Scotland
Photographer waits over the nights of the 4th and 5th August 2013 to capture the rare celestial sighting...noctilucent clouds and aurora over Caithness, Scotland.



In deze video heeft de amateur-astronoom een gesprek met de BBC over wat hij heeft vastgelegd 



An amateur astronomer has captured rare images of a night sky lit up by unusual high altitude clouds and the Aurora Borealis.
Macieji Winiarczyk, a member of Caithness Astronomy Group (CAG), photographed the noctilucent clouds and Northern Lights earlier this month.
The images were captured over Caithness and have been used to create time lapse footage.
US space agency Nasa has featured the time lapse on an astronomy website.
