Ta....suffice to say not much imaging was happening in the Observatory. I though it prudent to disconnect LAN and power cables to the switch, PC, mount etc.

As Greg mentioned...haven't seen a storm like that in recent memory. Sheet
lightning was almost constant at one point. The closest strike was 600m from our home....very bright flash and subsequent house shaking "Boom!" within 2 seconds.

Noticed quite a few aircraft "threading the needle" using Wx radar to get in and out of Sydney airport.
