Just in case someone is interested, here is my first attempt at

frames.

That *looks* like the genuine article -- cloud features -- to me.
It's really hard to say if it is or isn't cloud features. Imaging below the blue light frequencies is tough because that's where turbulence is. If I ever get some time off this June, I may head up into the rocky mountains for the weekend and try to image it form west side and at a much higher altitude too (2000+ meters).
