Hi Alex,
Lucky it didnt hit your telescope!!!
If you have solar panels a lightning strike can fry the lot. In the US its common practice to install lightning rods with solar panels.
My mate in the Adelaide hills had his meter box blown off the wall when the power pole outside his house was struck.
He was lucky that no appliances were damaged but his inverter was fried and was lucky that panels were ok.
I've always thought about having a lightning rod but never done anything about it.
Cheers
Andy
