Most of the whispyness in the images in both those orbit solution pages is aurora rather than clouds.

Here's a meteor orbit solution from one of the meteors caught by both my cameras that night:

If you have a look at the various images from cameras around the UK that recorded the meteor, you'll notice they pretty much all also show some auroral rays...

A few I had posted in the chat but not here.  Planets acquired with the 10" f/20 Maksutov.  The aurora is with a handheld Samsung Galaxy S23+ phone and the allsky camera.
