Beautiful. In both shots the thunderheads looks like a snow covered peaks, with the interior lighting coming across sunlight caught at just the right angle, with the view partially by clouds. But mountains in the sky notwithstanding, both pics are quite clear as to the Boréal at issue, with the Big Dipper/Plough (UK) on the left and Cassiopeia on the right. In fact, if you input the date and time of your shots, this animation perfectly matches your celestial background: http://astro.unl.edu/classaction/animations/ancientastro/dipperclock.html
