Some stringy clouds appeared as well every 15 minutes going through the scene. My exposures to match what I saw of course were around 1 sec or less to get that same colour. Anything even a fraction longer really made it lighter looking and brighter than the human eye saw it. I'm in London Ontario two hours west of Toronto and two hours east of Detroit.
