These images were taken at 1:00am BST (12:00am UT) when I first looked out my back window and the skies to the north were brighter than I expected.
I noticed this very bright cloud formation in the distance which looked pretty high up in the sky. I took a few shots with my Nikon Coolpix 5700 and combined a few of them here.
In the upper foreground there was some low "dark grey" cloud blocking the view beyond it.
You can see the orangey sunset-type glow right on the horizon.
Capella is the bright star to the upper right of the chimney in photo 2 and also in photo 3.
