For those with experience, the haze to the left, is that likely cloud, or more unlikely, have I managed to take a photo of some far away galaxy?!
Cannot be sure but the haze may well be a galaxy but not a far away one. If it is a galaxy it will be our own one, the milky way. Well I suppose they are all far away but that one is the least far away.

Here is one I took a while back showing Orion on the lower centre/right and the milky way in the centre.
