well what a cracker of an evening - it was short lived and it declined to nothing in less than an hour, but at its peak - wow

Well, Light-Me-Up David, grouse Capturing, all that amperage makes them power lines only a bit of Static in comparison - great image !

[Atmos]

Your last words say it well... wow :D

[peter_4059]

Great shot Dave. Please list how you did it... exposure, gear etc.

[h0ughy]

ok, canon camera bog standard 18-55 lens manually focussed on something on the horizon, then 6 sec set on manual iso 100 and a lightning trigger. then when its too bad to be there pack it in:rofl: started at 7:43 and packed it in at 7:57

the selected images to stack in startrails (some were far too bright);)

[RB]

Incredible.
How cool is that.
Well done mate.

[ASTRO-GEM]
