We know that the atmosphere here is undergoing dramatic changes so why rule out lightning?
I think that the amount of energy required to light up Bird's CCD to the shown amount (across 40 light minutes of distance) would greatly exceed what lightning can provide. We're looking at megatons of dissipated energy.

Regards,
Tony Barry

Amazing Anthony, to first record and now witness two seperate impacts on another planet is truly remarkable, regardless of the time you spend looking

Thanks so much to everyone for the comments... I was out of contact yesterday while we drove back from Trev's place (made it home last night, was a long day - 1000km).

Was set up to have another look this morning but now I'm back in the land of the neverending cloud and fog, I hope trevor had some better luck at his place...

I'm waay behind in answering emails etc, it's a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon :-)

Lots of big scopes are scrambling to have a look, including one space-based scope :-)

cheers, Bird

There's no doubt in my mind that it should actually "Image of the Year".

I've only just caught the news. Congratulations again, Anthony. As others have said, this is the result of absolute dedication - not just in time spent, but the care you take with your equipment etc, etc. Much admiration!
