Milky Way through the clouds

 There was just enough time to get the star-tracker aligned before the clouds in the northern sky covered Polaris.  I was able to get two shots of the the Milky Way in the southern sky.  There has been a lot of haze from wildfire smoke, so the current rainy weather should help to clear the air.

Both images: Olympus E-M1iii + 12mm f/2 lens, ISO 1600, 30 sec.
