As for the lightning triggers, the theory is that the lightning strike is actually 4 to 6 short strikes over the same track spread out over many milliseconds. The first strike is detected by the trigger, and the shutter is opened before the last strike.

I do the same, I program the intervalometer to take 20-30 second shots on continuous mode and then examine what I got in them.
