Through the Cirrus

Not much on TV, not much to do from home in lock down so I set the scope up under a blanket of patchy cirrus clouds tonight. These clouds have been hanging around Melbourne for the past few nights, making imagining pointless actually. On occasions you look up and the sky looks clear, then you notice a slight haze even in the clear sections. I got a few minutes through these 'clear' windows before the blanket of high cloud thickened and I called it quits.

Certainly not the best seeing or transparency conditions but it filled in some time. 8 inch Newt on an old EQ5 with RA motor, Canon 550d, best 3000 frames of 12000 captured, 1600iso.
