Alby (my elder daughter) changed her piano class schedule, thus occupied my playing room (which is also her piano room) until quite late, so not much time to shoot today. Did an experiment to use my 52mm 850nm IR pass filter with the Herschel Wedge.

Transparency improved a bit (5/10) but with moving cloud, more contrast today, seeing still sucks (2/10).
