Wonderful picture. Deeply envious. :)

Impressed that the coordinates the website attaches suggest its in Grus.

Great image! (There is/was an option for the observer to submit a comment on the field coordinates derived by astrometry.net.)

Denis, Leeds_N captured a PER at 00:49:45 through the cloud cover. Most likely a match.
