Nephology

I am thinking about changing my hobby to Nephology!

Frustrating isn't it!

Not seeing a problem - as an ex-astrophotographer, I now see these things as an object of beauty 😱 How could you NOT like something like this?

Don’t a lot of astrophotographers spend their time imaging clouds, they are just a bit further away, that’s all?

Clouds can be quite useful too.  When we had the solar eclipse in the UK all those years ago we did all trooped out of our laboratory to watch it do the 3/4 thing that we got in Essex.  Without solar eclipse viewers which we didn't have we thought we would need to view a shadow on the ground, which seems rather 'meh!' - as my kids would put it.  However, when we went out there was just sufficient cloud cover to clearly see the sun disk sufficiently diffuse through the clouds, but also clearly through the clouds.  It stayed like that for whole time and we remain people that have been able to directly watch a solar eclipse with our plain eyes and see the moon advance across etc. all in plain sight and without filters.
