This gif animation compares two luminance frames of LBN 7 with an exposure time of 6min, which were captured on two consecutive nights at the same altitude of 45°. Both nights were completely cloudless, but in the second night Calima (a hot, sand laden wind that blows in from the Northern Sahara) worsened the transparency.
