Good Morning All,
Last night, I went to a film presentation and seminar in Brisbane given by a Peter McLeish, who is a Canadian Artist with a science background, who works in collaboration with scientists and NASA to provide an artistic rendition of scientific phenomena, especially in relation to
Red Sprites.
It was unfortunately not well attended, probably due to Olympimania, which was a pity, because his first film was most interesting, and would appeal to most astronomers, especially as it give another string to the bow of Astrophotographers on stormy nights. He believes that a high speed video set-up, such as is used for planetary observing, could possibly record red sprites over thunderstorms
He is continuing his lecture tour over the next couple of days in Canberra, Sydney, and Adelaide, details
here and I would recommend his presentation to anyone with an interest in Atmospherics. The presentation takes about 90 minutes.
