I am not sure I understand your question Hygge. In the case of Tuesdays cloud of the Cloud-A-Day service you can find it in the archive (see link at the bottom of this page, I suppose you have to be logged in). In case of the ‘Cloud of the day’ last Tuesday on the Cloudspotter app it was to ephemeral to remember what cloud it was and by who it was spotted. In this case Ian or the team that chooses the cloud of the day might be able to help?
Hereunder the tiniest fallstreak hole ever, also spotted with the Cloudspotter app.

Lovely cloudscape to dart in, Keelin. Ha and Mike has a cloudscape of his own! Beautiful vista’s.
The iPhone is always by the hand. That is an advantage, Keelin. The 5S has a very good camera in it, much better then the 4S that I still use. The pictures on the gallery that you made with your phone are fantastic.
I suppose you also use the Cloudspotter app? I do. Here is one I made with the Cloudspotter app.
So surreal is this picture. Very intriguing tree-like figures without faces……
And … many thanks Michael for your detailed explanation. Crazy enough I mistook your filters for physical filters. The programming of filters did not come to mind (where is my mind?). Screwing on and off filters is indeed a nuisance and one will miss the right moments. I am very happy with your information about the way you programmed some User Choices and now – writing this post – I have already (?) programmed some of my own. For unimaginable reasons I did not use these features yet although I knew about them. Now I start with choices in sharpness and contrast among others. And also I must make them my own by experimenting. Being prepared is definitely a must with these ephemeral cloud things. So many thanks again.
Surrealism is everywhere you want to find it. So, forgive me this one:
Curious Cloud Gods watching Michael Darting Around
And the result is a picture of very clear defined eddies in an abstract swirling struggle.
Your explanation, Michael, about the way you make these pictures make me aware of features that I know about but don’t use enough conscientiously. The only filter I use is a polarization filter, which of course only makes a difference in the right circumstances. Always learning. I keep these notes in mind. Your results are excellent examples.
Here something more (or less) figurative
Big Bang
Ha, I think the Dutchman has found his lost goldmine within this thread. Great composition of impressive cloud structures, Michael.
I am dreaming that Turner would have liked the next one. It does well in B&W as well in “Not B&W” (just check).

Hello Hygge, you make me curious about this survey concerning contrail. I have no idea what is was about or what purpose it had. I notice that this is the second time you come up with it. Like you I hope it will be answered, but “if not” it might be an idea to put forward the question directly via the info address of CAS? Does this help?
I think you are right Hygge. I tried to find something like it and found only one in the gallery that shows resemblance:
Something like it, but more spectacular
For comparison, unfortunately without the former fantastic halo, another moonscape like the one in the Black and White Thread (Vol I)
Thanks Graham for the link with information about the history and science of contrails and George for the link of the effects of the post 9/11 flight groundings.
Being from the 50’s one can say that the sky is changed since then, certainly in the neighborhood of air traffic. Just an example below made with the cloudspotter app.
