In that day, almost west Japan was covered with the yellow dust that comes flying from desert district in China. This image shows you an influence of yellow dust, reddish clolor in lower skies, but it was fairly good transparency condition around zenith. I could appreciate glittering summer's Milky Way stacking up against the yellow dust.
