Description

Lots of high clouds and low clouds sweeping in causing mayhem. I did get a decent go at Orion, though. Not that much tracking errors, but some of the images were a bit faint from high clouds.

The aim is to build up 8 hours of Orion integration. With the current weather, that may take some time.

What I do like is the dark ominous clouds at the bottom right; it looks like a local whisp of smoke, but then again, they are light years in size, not your local bush fire.
