Thanks Allan, right place right time.
I actually put provisions to mount a ball head inside my toilet window, a covered stud sticks up through some blocks with reinforcing aluminium bar between them (screwed on window sill) and I can remove the cover, screw a ballhead and mount a camera in seconds. It sounds weird but it's the only window I have a north easterly view through without trees blocking the view and if a storm brews up in the east I can stand out of the rain with my camera, push the fly screen out and image storms. As long as the rain is't pelting down from that direction. Unfortunately I missed the biggest storm I've seen in the region on the day I came up with the idea because I misplaced my blocks and stud while I searched for the aluminium to reinforce between the 2 blocks of timber. By the time I found them the storm was over, I was so, well, I can't type what I was it's rude and not appreciated on this forum but rest assured I was mad at myself and my lack of memory. The things were literally right in front of me but I didn't see them
It's something I've been taking images of for years, I'm somewhat infatuated with the light displays.
