Some good seeing again for a while last night, just after 1am. This is an animation of two red channel images taken a few minutes apart. A lot of cloud detail is visible, as well as two moons.

Here's a link to the image:

And here is a colour image from about 15 mins earlier. It looks to me like the bright storm is actually 2 close storms.

cheers, Anthony
