The Times, UK, says 6MAY16 ‘The Milky Way at dawn…. with Mars, right, Saturn to the left and Antares below.
N.B. I would encourage others to add their back yard clouds to this thread; it is not just for hygge.
Dr No is an early bird. The link to the old forum is

This was posted as the thread ‘CAS Old Forum Link May 11, 2015, 11.02 p.m.’ (somewhere around page 12 currently).
That raises the question, how do you search in this new Forum design? The magnifying glass at the top does not seem to help. (If only it would magnify this type which seems scarce more than one mm – oh, ‘Ctl +’ makes it bigger).

Can you help?
Paul Simons in The Times (UK) 21APR16 wonders if you would help decipher old whaling log books for weather info:
Shakespeare
The media is today (also his birthday) marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. I have not found an appropriate cloud picture (can you?) but this was interesting
Prince
I am sure there are purples in the CAS Gallery (there are purples in a current slider picture) but I see no search function. So I offer this from NME (there are more if you google ‘purple’):

Or Two Hoods?
Great observation, MikeL, and a fine record. But such a worthy post is deserving of comment for the uninitiated.
I fear you are guilty of allowing alliteration in the title to mislead.
Pileus, on top, is Latin for cap so fair do.
But I fear ‘cape’ is not in the etymology. I suspect, as a hobbyist, that your ‘cape’ is velum on the left, which is Latin for ‘sail of a ship, flap of a tent’ (ICA Vol 1, Appendix 1, 4. SUPPLEMENTARY FEATURES AND ACCESSORY CLOUDS’).
I also suspect that if it is velum it is unusual in not being of great horizontal extent. Hence it may be another pileus, attached to the cumulus. Two hoods.
P.S. Pannus is Latin for a piece of cloth etc. but that’s a red herring.
Thanks Geoff LB, top right bars worked.
Said Gavin – ‘We’ve also just darkened the body font of the website. Does it work better now?’. Yes, but way to go for me – the post # (132984 for Geoff’s) is still very pale. Is it my imagination or is it darker (slightly) at 90 degrees to a laptop screen than at other angles? The font size as I write is too small for me (it changes after ‘SUBMIT’), though the darker font colour is better (but that also changes after ‘SUBMIT’).
Love the upward arrow at bottom right which rockets you to the top.
If I knew how to edit, I would have added to my post above, 10 minutes ago, ‘how do I logoff’.
Aha, just spotted the ‘edit’ tab out on the top right but so pale I overlooked it. I think when I submitted this post first time, the tab line at the top was not visible without scrolling up a wee bit.
Just testing since I am finding login puzzling – I think I got here by using ‘account login’ at the foot of the website home page, whereas I was expecting to login to the Forum on the ‘Forum home page’ so to speak, as of old.

MikeL, this topic with its initial picture, GP-P approval, then the synoptic situation, makes you Top Notch in my humble opinion.
Thank you.
