It's akin to thin, wispy cirrus and altostratus in structure here on Earth. If you go long enough in most pics and/or it's especially concentrated in one area, you can pick it out as a "haze" in your piccies. You can get some good structure in it as well with long exposures.

Thanks for clearing up the haze Carl
Very interesting stuff.
