Clearer night tonight. A few small stray clouds would stumble into my observations, and would force me to wait 5-10 minutes for them to move further south.

Had trouble with finding this one earlier in the night and decided to move on and come back to it. I found it on my second attempt, I think I was too far south with my first attempt.
Orange in color.
