What is this?

So today is about living the astronomer life. Went to bed at 4am and was expecting to sleep in till noon, but body hasn't adapted to it just yet, so I woke up at 10. Ended up getting the eagles cardinals game in for about a half. Headed to a place called summerhaven, which is an oxymoron since there was actually snow on the ground. Came back to the scope and prepared to take some individual images for ourselves. I took images on NGC2419 and I had the luck of going last which meant dealing with the haze and overcast conditions. Got a few ok images, but nothing special. So you could nearly say that this night is difficult to stay awake for waiting for the clouds to move along. Perhaps they might, we shall see.
