Hello John, to me pannus and Stratus fractus look alike. The difference is only in the definition according to the International Cloud Atlas. Stratus fractus is a species of Stratus. Pannus is an accessory cloud that can accompany Altostratus, Nimbostratus, Cumulus and last but not least Cumulonimbus. In appearance I see no difference.
HansOh, wow the aurora in California! Very nice Keelin. Love it. Recently the aurora was also visible in the Netherlands but I just heard about it the day after. Grrrr. My chance to see it was gone to the dogs. Speaking of dogs…..
TwindogGreat image at sunset Diana. I think you spotted altocumulus stretching its fingers making it radiatus. Love it.
these are intriguing clouds Timothy. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see the time-lapse you mentioned.
Here are some thoughts I have. Supercilium is associated with mountains and the turbulations around the heights. So far so good, but to me these clouds seem to be very low, almost touching ground level following the slopes of the mountain, but not everywhere. As supercilium does, these swirls also look like asperitas. The image with extra contrast shows a lot of their features.
Supercilium, asperitas, which main cloud?…… There is much to puzzle about the cloud ID’s, but you made for certain some amazing images!
Marie, I see Cirrus uncinus indeed. Spissatus is possible, but difficut to be sure of. Very nice skies anyway! Thanks for sharing.

Ah, there are so many beauties above, but #122 and #123 from some time ago are very special Michael. I love the contrast of the bright reds with the darker blue background.
The Last Reds
There are a few very eye catching ones above. A sunset by Michael, Why Wait by Keelin with a misty scenery, a Nice Set of Molars (love it!) and a Spread Sheet by Ruth.
A KH Trail
You posted an ingenious Spread Sheet Ruth.
The dances by Michael continue to amaze and I am curious Keelin, whether you already have an answer from Ian about the names. I remember you started on the Forum with your full name and then changed it.
Yes all shapes and sizes, Ruth
Ah, already a new volume. Ariel closed the former volume with a beautiful corona and a guarding sundog while Michael started with a faint halo in greys. Love it!
Yes and what color has the rain?
Here is another faint sundog together with some trails, of which one is blue.
