Looking South

Lean times astronomy-wise, but the short nights make for great views to the South, with twilight coming from unusual directions. Taken just after 11.00pm last night from Home Dune, looking out to sea. Venus near lambda Sagittarii setting in the SW, and circumpolar Omega Cen just past its lowest point in the sky. And some unusual-looking cloud low on the horizon. NLCs perhaps? Not a common sight around here (not quite 46°S).
