Visibility II / V

The observation conditions were downright ideal last night. But the (otherwise really lovely) brightness... The night clouds could still be seen with the naked eye, mostly in the western direction. When the nights get dark, they surely shine in a completely different way. I suspected the whole time that they were also hiding among the red cloud cover of the sky, but you can't really find out - and it doesn't matter. The second image is a timelapse from the entire observation period, from which you can see that a small movement did occur.
