Table criteria
The table only shows bright stars >= 3 magnitude, with the vast majority being >= 2 magnitudes. These stars are definitely visible on exposures of NLC. The altitude range of the stars is 5 - +30° for a latitude of 54°N, hence these stars will be seen at lower or higher altitudes depending upon your latitude but should all be visible from the UK and Northern Europe. It is worth noting that all of these stars are circumpolar from the UK. For more information on this table read the Noctilucent Cloud triangulation page.
