Dodging clouds

And again the clouds are returning. Ho Hum. I did manage to get a few shots off last night, first up an Iridium flare, Iridium 61 to be precise. I wasn't sure what I was going to actually capture thanks to the cloud, but figured it was worth a try. The flare being a Mag -8 was bright enough to cut through the clouds.

I then turned and saw quite a dramatic sight. Lunar playing hide and seek in amongst the clouds. I think this has caught quite a nice halo, but without the moon showing...

Some time later, she popped her head out of the clouds for a look around and I was able to catch her.
